The latest move by Onyekuru sees him leave Olympiacos just a year after he joined the Greek champions from Turkish giant, Galatasaray.

The 25-year-old has struggled to find a home since leaving Belgian club, Eupen, and last season, failed to impress in Greece.

Onyekuru failed to register a single goal for the club in 14 appearances, managing just five starts.

Adana Demirspor has won the race to take him up on loan, seeing out competitions from fellow Turkish clubs, Besiktas and Galatasaray, where Onyekuru has enjoyed loan spell on three occasions.
