Turkish Super Lig newcomers Alanyaspor have announced the signing of out-of-favour Nigeria international Akeem Latifu, who last played for FC Stal Dniprodzerzhynsk in Ukraine.

The 26-year-old has put pen to paper on a two-year contract that will keep him in the city of Alanya until the summer of 2018 if both parties honour the agreement.

Shortly after the transfer was confirmed, Latifu said on social media : “Five years ago I played a friendly match against this teamâ�½ today I signedð��� for the same team... Amazing!

“God is too wise to make errors he will always make a way. Alayansporâ�½ Looking forward... The best is yet to com.”

Latifu began his senior career with Bussdor FC before he was snapped up by Ocean Boys, and played for Akwa United before his shift to Norway in 2010.

The wing-back represented Strømsgodset, Hodd and Aalesund in Norway, then moved to Ukraine.
