Torino have won the race for Joel Obi, according to reports in Italy.
Obi was strongly linked with the Serie A club for several days and cuoretoro.it reported in the early hours of Wednesday that the Nigerian midfielder’s move had been sealed.
The Super Eagles star cost €2.4 million from Inter Milan, where he spent 10 years.
He signed a four-year deal with the Turin club, after Inter gave their nod to the move.
Torino, who finished ninth in Serie A last season, beat off competition from Carpi and Genoa for Obi’s services.
Obi, 24, joined the Inter youth team in 2005 and got promoted to the first team in 2010, during Jose Mourinho’s reign as manager.
He was loaned out to Parma in the 2013/2014 season but returned last season. He, however, found a regular spot in Roberto Mancini’s squad difficult to come and was expected to leave San Siro at the end of the season.
Meanwhile, Nigerian midfielder Sunday Mba has joined a newly promoted second tier Turkish side Yeni Malatyaspor.
Mba, who scored Nigeria’s winning goal in the final match of the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa, completed the moved from French third division club CA Bastia and was unveiled in Turkey on Tuesday.
The Super Eagles player tweeted photos of his unveiling on Tuesday expressing his delight over the move.
Malatyaspor was promoted from the TFF Second League, which is the third division, to the First League, at the end of last season.
The club, nicknamed Tigers of the East, are based in Malatya in Eastern Anatolia and play at the 15,000 capacity Malatya Inonu Stadium..
