Fenerbahce have announced the capture of Nigeria forward Emmanuel Emenike from Spartak Moscow for €13 million.
.
It marks an unlikely return to the Istanbul club for the 26-year-old, two years after he left without ever playing a game following a match-fixing scandal.
.
Emenike had been accused by authorities of faking an injury in May 2011 when at Karabukspor, ruling him out of a match against Fenerbahce, with whom he signed a four-year deal a few days later.
.
Amid the scandal, Emenike quit Turkey for Moscow without ever turning out for Fenerbahce and although the club's president Aziz Yildirim was sentenced to six years in prison for his role in a wider match-fixing affair, Emenike was acquitted due to lack of evidence in April, paving the way for his return to Istanbul.
.
France under-21 international defender Chris Mavinga has signed for Rubin Kazan from Rennes, the Russian Premier League side said.
.
The club from Tatarstan, back-to-back Russian champions in 2008 and 2009, said the 22-year-old will arrive in Kazan on Wednesday night.
.
Last season's Cup winners Kazan currently sit eighth in the Russian Premier League after four matches, four points behind leaders Spartak Moscow.
Though Turkey is no longer recognised but I still feel Emenike would do well over there. He's got the talent!
