Bursaspor coach Mustafa Er has been impressed by Kelechi Iheanacho’s remarkable goalscoring run in Turkey, as the Nigerian striker continues to attract attention following his record-breaking start to life with the club.
Iheanacho has scored in 10 consecutive league matches for Bursaspor, establishing a historic milestone in Turkish professional football and underlining his growing influence since arriving at the club.
The Super Eagles forward has registered 14 goals during the 10-match scoring streak, with his consistent performances making him one of the standout players in Turkey’s second division this season.
Er’s reaction comes at a time when the Nigerian striker’s form has become an important talking point surrounding Bursaspor’s campaign.
The 30-year-old joined the Turkish side in July 2026 after leaving Scottish champions Celtic, where he helped the club win domestic honours during the 2025/26 season. His decision to move to Turkey attracted attention, particularly given the reported interest of other clubs in his services.
Bursaspor worked hard to secure his signature, and Iheanacho has responded with goals that have justified the club’s efforts to bring him on board.
His ability to find the net consistently has also strengthened his position as one of the team’s leading attacking threats.
Scoring in 10 consecutive league appearances is a significant achievement, particularly in a competition where opponents have opportunities to study a striker’s movement and adjust their defensive approach.
However, Iheanacho has continued to deliver, demonstrating the finishing ability and attacking instincts that made him a prominent name in English and Scottish football.
The Nigerian international has also maintained his involvement with the Super Eagles, scoring against Russia during the international break in October.
His club form could provide encouragement for Nigeria as the national team considers its attacking options for upcoming assignments.
With his record-breaking run already established, attention will now turn to whether Iheanacho can extend the streak and maintain his impressive scoring rate.
For Bursaspor, keeping the striker fit and productive could prove important as the club pursues its objectives this season
