Ankara (Turkey) - A day after eliminating Austrian club Salzburg in the Champions League, Fenerbahce announced on Wednesday that it had come to an agreement with Russian side Spartak Moscow to sign Nigerian striker Emmanuel Emenike.
The club also announced that Slovak winger Miroslaw Stoch is likely to be sent to Greek club PAOK on a one-year loan deal, reports Xinhua.
In a statement, Fenerbahce said it had come to a deal with the Russian club to sign Emenike for 13 million euros.
Emenike is expected to arrive in Istanbul on Wednesday night to go through a health check and if his license to play with Fenerbahce comes through in time, he could have the chance to play in the Turkish Super Cup game against Galatasaray on Sunday.
Emenike left Fenerbahce when the Turkish football match-fixing scandal, in which he was implicated, broke on July 3, 2011.
The Nigerian player’s stint with Fenerbahce ended abruptly after the match-rigging allegations emerged. After having joined Spartak Moscow in 2011, Emenike was acquitted in the match-fixing case in April.
Fenerbahce’s statement to the KAP added that Fenerbahce had started negotiations with PAOK to send its 23-year-old Slovak winger Miroslav Stoch on a one-year loan deal.
