Valentine Ozornwafor: Almeria sign Galatasaray's Nigerian defender on loan

Almeria have completed the signing of Valentine Ozornwafor on a season-long loan from Turkish champions Galatasaray.

The Segunda Division outfit has the option to sign the Nigeria U20 centre-back permanently if he impresses at the end of the 2019-20 campaign.

Earlier this summer, Ozornwafor joined Galatasaray from Nigeria Professional Football League side Enyimba on a four-year deal after his fine defensive performances for the Flying Eagles at the Fifa U20 World Cup in Poland.

After struggling to break into Fatih Terim's squad, the 20-year-old will shift his focus on helping Almeria gain promotion to Spain's La Liga.
