New Bursaspor recruit Taye Taiwo is fit as a fiddle. The 28 - year - old Nigeria international underwent medical examination at Acibadem Bursa Hospital on Saturday morning and passed it in flying colors.

This means the green and white, who will represent Turkey in next season's Champions League, have been given the green-light to proceed with the acquisition of the full back.

Taye Taiwo underwent blood, orthopedics, cardiology, ophthalmology, dental and lung testing.

He penned a three - year contract with Bursaspor on Friday night, and was introduced to the press and fans at a ceremony which started at 13:00 hours Nigeria time today.

'' I am very happy to be here. It is one of the important points of my career.

'' I am also happy to see Bursaspor fans here. I would like to thank you for that and it feels like home here.

'' I know the team very well, also my team mates. I know also my head coach Mr. Karaman. Club is really successful and I came here to win the title.

'' I am a professional player. I want to do my best on the pitch. Of course I would like to score like I did before,'' said Taiwo to the official website.

He continued: '' I know about Bursaspor fans. I came here to play with heart for the fans. I played for Marseille before. Fans were also have passion there.

''I want to bring the championship back here together with your support.''
