Iheanacho praises passionate Bursaspor fans
Speaking to Turkish outlet Fotomac, the former Manchester City and Leicester City forward described playing in front of Bursaspor's supporters as a special experience.
“It’s fantastic to play in front of one of the biggest fan groups in Türkiye,” Iheanacho said.
The Nigerian believes the support from the stands can provide Bursaspor with a major advantage, particularly during home matches.

Iheanacho arrived at Bursaspor as a free agent from Scottish champions Celtic and has wasted little time making his presence felt.
