The clock was ticking, and the Celtics had minutes instead of hours to save the offensive reinforcements they needed while rescuing their summer transfer window.
Adam Idah was allowed to complete a permanent transfer to Swansea City earlier today, making Shin Yamada and Johnny Kenny the only “superior” strikers in the building.
Sky Sports reporter Anthony Joseph claims Chelsea forward David Datro Fofana has turned down an opportunity to join the basketball in order to sign British team Charlton Sports in the borrowing championship game.
Celtics bid for new striker
The Scottish Premier League champions are still struggling to propose new advances before the deadline passes to improve their options.
According to the Scottish Suns, the Celtics made a last bid to sign Sevilla center Kelechi Iheanacho to reunite with Brendan Rodgers.
The report claims that the Nigerian international has become the deadline transfer target for the rim after they failed to land on Kasper Dolberg and Datro Fofana.
It added that if Sevilla wanted to move to Scotland by the deadline, he wouldn’t have hindered his obstacles, but it’s still up for a look at what Marksman wants to do, at £52,000 a week.
Kelechi Iheanacho can bring to the Celtics
The left-footed striker is an experienced ninth and can be a better choice for Datro Fofana, the ninth place in the Scottish Giants.
Datro Fofana has scored only five goals in the top five leagues in Europe in his career and has scored no more than four goals in one season since Sofascore’s 2022 season.
Kelechi, once called “incredible” by Rodgers, scored 43 goals in 143 games with the Celtics during his time at Leicester, suggesting that the Northern Ireland boss can get his best form from him.

As you can see in the table above, Kelechi has extensive experience in the Premier League and has always shown that he can achieve goals and assists in good situations, if not spectacular.
His best season had 12 goals in the 2020/21 campaign, and also appeared with the Foxes’ Rodgers, which once again showed that they had a relationship that could be successful on Parkhad.
Kelechi has more experience and goals in the European Major League and has more experience and goals than Datro Fofana, and in all competitions in the 2024/25 sports, Chelsea Youngster (two) has surpassed (two) in all competitions at Sofascore.
This shows that when you consider his relationship with Rodgers and his Premier League level game under current basketball boss, the 28-year-old shooter still has a lot of money left at that age, he might provide a shrewd addition to the team.
This may not be a charming big currency, signing up to what supporters may want, but if they can do this ongoing sustainability at the finish line, the Celtics will have a potential deadly forward.
