Kelechi Iheanacho has declared his desire to remain at Celtic beyond the summer, saying he hopes to still be a Hoops player when the new season kicks off.

The Nigeria international arrived at the Scottish Premiership champions on a free transfer last summer, departing Sevilla to sign a one-year deal that includes a club option for a further year. At 28, his future hinges on Celtic exercising that option, and Iheanacho has made clear where his preference lies.
