Thousands of passionate Galatasaray fans made their way to Istanbul Airport, thronging in the early hours just to catch a glimpse of their new star, chanting and celebrating like it was the finals of the Champions League.

It seems this loan may just be a pit stop on a rollercoaster ride through the footballing world, offering the Nigerian striker a chance to showcase his talent before possibly returning to a bigger league. Who wouldn't want to have their cake and eat it too?
