Stoke City's Nigeria International Midfielder Joins Getafe Pending A Medical

Published: January 02, 2020

Allnigeriasoccer.com can confirm a report by Spanish sports daily Marca that Nigeria international Oghenekaro Etebo will be joining La Liga club Getafe in the January transfer window.

Stoke City and Getafe have reached a club-to-club agreement over the loan of the central midfielder.

Subject to a medical, Etebo will spend the remainder of the 2019-2020 campaign on loan at Getafe.

The future of the former Warri Wolves star has been the subject of speculation in the British press due to a lack of first team opportunities at the Potters despite his return to full fitness after suffering an injury.

He has not featured for his Championship club since October 22, 2019 when he lasted 21 minutes on the pitch vs Sheffield Wednesday.

Etebo is not new to La Liga, having spent time on loan at UD Las Palmas during the second half of the 2017-2018 season, on loan from Feirense.

Overall, he has played 51 matches for Stoke City since he transferred to the club in the summer of 2018, and has scored two goals.
