Former Nigeria international Mutiu Adepoju has backed Kelechi Iheanacho for a return to the Super Eagles, citing his resurgence in form with Celtic despite an injury-disrupted campaign. Iheanacho has been in impressive striking form for Celtic, and Adepoju believes he still has much to offer at the international level. The 28-year-old striker's performances have been significant in light of his initial setback, which limited him to just five games in all competitions. With a healthy run, Adepoju thinks Iheanacho can be a key player for Nigeria once again.
