Iheanacho has quality to deliver for Celtic- Sutton

Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton says Kelechi Iheanacho has the quality to do more for the Scottish Premiership side.

​Iheanacho, who joined Celtic on a free-transfer, registered two goals and one assist in his opening four games for the Scottish Premiership giants.

However, the 29-year-old’s playing time reduced drastically after he sustained a hamstring injury. He has returned to his best in recent weeks, netting a brace in Celtic’s Scottish Cup semi-final victory over St Mirren.

​Martin O’Neill, Celtic’s interim head coach, still favors Daizen Maeda as the team’s main attacking option ahead of Iheanacho.

​Sutton sees Iheanacho quality

​Sutton, who was quoted by 67 Hail Hail, believes the Nigeria international can give Celtic greater quality.

“That pressing is something which Martin O’Neill feels that Iheanacho can’t do.

He can give Celtic greater quality, in terms of holding the ball in.”

Iheanacho has scored six goals in 19 games across all competitions for the Hoops this season.
