His goalscoring exploits have made him a key figure for Bursaspor since joining the club as a free agent following the expiration of his contract with Scottish Premiership giants Celtic.
Meanwhile, Super Eagles coach, Eric Chelle, having noticed Iheanacho’s current goalscoring form, has named him in the squad for the friendly game against Russia on October 6 at the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium.
