"I'll be presented as a Galatasaray player by Thursday", claims Eboue

Defender Emmanuel Eboue has revealed that his move to Turkish side Galatasaray will be completed shortly, with the Ivorian expected to be officially presented on Thursday.

The 28-year-old, who had not been given a squad number ahead of the new season, has been in talks with Galatasaray officials for over a month with Arsenal accepting a £3.5million fee towards the end of July.

Eboue told Radio Abidjan this morning that the deal would have been done sooner if it wasn’t for the match-fixing problems that currently surround Turkish football.

Ivory Coast international Eboue has been at Arsenal since the summer of 2006, making a total of 214 appearances during his five-year stay in north London.
