Fenerbahce have officially completed the signing of Nigeria
international striker, Emmanuel Emenike, from Spartak Moscow.
The Super Lig outfit had announced a deal had been agreed on
Wednesday, and the 26-year-old has now completed his medical and
agreed personal terms.
He leaves a Spartak Moscow side that currently sit top of the Russian
Premier League after four games, in no short part down to Emenike’s
three goals.
Emenike previously signed for Fenerbahce in July 2011 but in the same
month was sold to Spartak after facing charges of match fixing.
He was later acquitted of all charges and returns to Turkey after also
featuring for Karabukspor.
Emenike has 15 international caps and has contributed six goals to the
Nigeria national team.
Fenerbahce could hand him his debut in the club’s Super Lig opener
away to Konyaspor on Saturday.
He could also feature in the Turkish side’s UEFA Champions League
play-off against Arsenal, the first leg of which will be held at Sukru
Saracoglu Stadium on August 21.
However, Fener’s long-term involvement in the competition remains
shrouded in doubt.
They have been allowed to feature in this season’s edition despite
being banned for three seasons from continental competition, a
sanction which they have appealed against.
