Published: July 17, 2016

Allnigeriasoccer.com has been informed that new Greuther Fürth acquisition Erhun Obanor has not arrived in Atlanta, United States, more than twenty four hours after completing his move to the German 2 Bundesliga club.

The defender was due to fly to the United States via Istanbul but had to change his itinerary at the last minute due to the political uprising in Turkey.

As a result of the coup attempt in Turkey, the airport in Istanbul had been closed to inbound and outbound flights.

Another route through Paris was quickly booked for Obanor so he can join the Dream Team early on Sunday morning local time.

The former Mountain of Fire stopper is currently in Paris Airport waiting to board a plane.
