SUPER Eagles midfielder Oghenekaro Etebo has completed a
loan move from Stoke City to Getafe, Sportsbiz247.blogspot.com reports.
The Nigerian international joined Los Azulones on a loan
deal until the end of the current campaign, while the Madrid-based club will
also have an option to sign him permanently.
The 24-year-old Nigeria midfielder was a prominent player
under Nathan Jones but fell out of favour when Michael O'Neill took charge in
November.
Etebo started just eight league games this campaign and had
not played for Stoke since limping out of a defeat at Sheffield Wednesday in
October. He recovered from injury but there was a hint that he had not done
enough in training to warrant selection.
Getafe boss Jose Bordalas had requested to club president
Angel Torres to land a central midfielder after Markel Bergara announced to the
club his desire to retire due to the multitude of injuries he has suffered.
Etebo previously has played in La Liga - representing Las
Palmas 14 times in the second half of the 2017/18 campaign, although he was
unable to prevent their relegation at the time.
The midfielder had been on loan in the Canary Islands
from Portuguese side Feirense, before subsequently joining Stoke in the summer
of 2018 for €7.2m after representing Nigeria at the World Cup in Russia.
