Nigeria international and Super Eagles forward Kelechi Iheanacho has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Brazilian club Vasco da Gama, with the striker being linked with a possible free transfer move to South America, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Iheanacho is attracting interest following an impressive campaign in Scotland, where he played a key role in helping Celtic secure a domestic Cup double last season.

The 29-year-old forward's performances have not gone unnoticed, with Vasco da Gama said to be monitoring his situation as they look to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new season.

Despite the reported interest from Brazil, Celtic are also keen to retain the services of the Nigerian forward and are understood to be considering plans to keep him at the club for next season.

Iheanacho's experience at both club and international level, coupled with his proven goalscoring ability, makes him an attractive option for clubs seeking attacking reinforcements.

A move to Vasco da Gama would represent a new chapter in the career of the former Manchester City and Leicester City striker, although no official agreement has been reached at this stage.
