Fenerbahçe has announced the capture of Nigerian forward Emmanuel Emenike from Spartak Moscow for 13 million euros, two years after he left without ever playing a game amid a match-fixing scandal.

He had been charged with faking an injury in May 2011 when at Kardemir Karabükspor, ruling him out of a match against Fenerbahçe, with whom he signed a four-year deal a few weeks later.

Emenike was acquitted in April. Fener has also loaned winger Miroslav Stoch out to PAOK in a bid to clear its foreign player quota.
