Former Super Eagles striker, Emmanuel Emenike, is set for Spanish side Las Palmas medical on Friday.
Emenike, according to the club’s official website, is scheduled to arrive on Thursday at 5:05pm on a flight from Madrid.
He will undergo a medical examination on Friday in the first hour and around 12:30 will be presented in the press room of the Gran Canaria Stadium.
“Emmanuel Chinenye Emenike is a Nigerian footballer who plays as a forward at Olympiacos FC of the Greek Super League. He was born on May 10, 1987 [age 30], Otuocha, Nigeria and arrives on loan to UD Las Palmas until June 30, 2018,” read a statement on the club’s website.
“Emenike is a fast forward of great power that can be adapted to any of the three attack positions. He arrived at the Greek Olympiacos after standing out in Turkish football, specifically in the clubs Karabukpor [30 goals in two seasons] and Fenerbahce [16 goals in two seasons], with which he won a league title.”
Emenike, who featured at the 2014 World Cup Brazil, also had a brilliant step for Russian football.
In Spartak Moscow he scored 21 goals in 42 games [2011-2014].
In recent seasons he has played on loan to Al-Ain [United Arab Emirates] and West Ham United where he played 13 games in the Premier League, without scoring any [2015-2016].
Las Palmas acquired Super Eagles’ Oghenekaro Etebo on transfer deadline day.
