The scramble for Nigerian striker Kelechi Iheanacho’s signature is intensifying, with Beşiktaş now facing competition from two other Turkish clubs, according to local reports.
Journalist Buchi Laba says all three sides have enquired about the 28-year-old Sevilla forward, valued at around €3m. While no official bids have been lodged, sources suggest Iheanacho is open to a Süper Lig switch.

Beşiktaş’s interest follows Wilfred Ndidi’s arrival in Istanbul last week, raising the prospect of the two Super Eagles teammates reuniting after years together at Leicester City and with the national side.
Former Nigerian international Dominic Iorfa believes the move could reignite Iheanacho’s career, offering him much-needed game time. With a strong Nigerian presence already in Turkey, he is tipped to adapt swiftly if the deal goes through.
