Olanrewaju Kayode: Gazisehir Gaziantep complete loan move for Shakhtar Donetsk forward

Newly-promoted Turkish Super Lig club Gazisehir Gaziantep have announced the signing of Nigeria's Olanrewaju Kayode on a season-long loan from Shakhtar Donetsk.

Kayode will be aiming to revive his career in Turkey after enduring a torrid spell in Ukraine where he scored just a goal last season.

The 26-year-old played 16 matches for the Miners in the 2018-19 campaign, including 10 games in the Ukrainian Premier League.
