Joe Hart backs Kelechi Iheanacho to rediscover form at Celtic
Former Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart has backed Kelechi Iheanacho to rediscover his form at Celtic after moving to the Scottish side on a free transfer from Sevilla at the back of mutual contract termination, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The ex-England international was the first-choice goalkeeper when the Nigerian star, fresh off from U-17 success, joined the team and was part of the first team players who took him under their wings.
“He’s so calm when finishing. How left foot is very hard to read, he plants his right foot, he can open up or reverse," Hart stated.
“Brendan knows how to get the best out of him. If he can find his rhythm and fitness, Celtic could have a really top striker.
“He’s a natural finisher when his eye is in. Like any striker, it can look quite difficult when they are not in a rhythm, but Kelechi will be given the support.
“If the boys create like we know they can, he’ll be an asset to the club.”
Hart's vote of confidence comes as a relief after the fans questioned his arrival, and with a familiar figure in Brendan Rodgers at the helm of affairs, Iheanacho has been tipped for a successful campaign with the SPL champions.
