Super Eagles and newly-signed Celtic striker Kelechi Promise Iheanacho has been seen putting in extra work as he prepares for a potential club debut next weekend, Soccernet.ng reports.

After six months without a league goal in Seville, Iheanacho returned to the EFL Championship, signing a loan deal with Middlesbrough, with an option for a permanent transfer included.
