Oghenekaro Etebo
Super Eagles midfielder Oghenekaro Etebo arrived in Thessaloniki yesterday to complete his transfer to Greek side Aris FC.
It would be recalled that Etebo agreed to join Aris Thessalonians last month, inking a three-year deal on September 15, the summer transfer deadline day in Greece.
With the move, Etebo ended his uninspiring four-year stay on the payroll of English Championship club Stoke City.
But after Aris announced the acquisition of Etebo, visa issues stalled the midfield dynamo from travelling to Greece.
But recent reports from Greece revealed that the visa issuance concerns had been resolved, and Etebo had received his visa from the London embassy.
Etebo landed in Greece yesterday straight to Aris FC’s traditional home, the Kleanthis Vikelidis Stadium to undergo the necessary medical tests, to determine his level of readiness and how quickly he will be able to integrate into manager Alan Pardew’s plans.

He added : “Of course I know the coach as he was my opponent during my time in England. I’m looking forward to this collaboration and I think it’s going to go well.”
When asked about the information he gathered about Aris, Etebo said : “First of all I’m happy to be at Aris. It is a new page in my career and what is important is to join the family, become part of the team and help it in the areas it needs.
