It is one of the transfer coups of the summer transfer market involving a Nigerian player.

Dynamo Kiev have beaten Galatasaray, Marseille and Benfica to the signature of Taye Taiwo, who has joined the capital club on a season-long loan deal until June 30, 2013.

Taiwo passed a medical examination held at the Metropolitan hospital and signed officially with Dynamo Kiev on Tuesday afternoon. He has been handed the number 33 jersey.

The ex Lobi Star will watch Tuesday's UEFA Champions League qualifiers against Dutch giants Feyenoord from the podium.
