Carrow89 0 Posted August 31, 2015 [quote user="TIL 1010"]It is now on the Club website. [/quote]Which reads as,PUBLISHED 21:28 31st August 2015 by Norwich City Football Club Dynamo Kiev hitman joins the Canaries on a year''s loan. NORWICH City are delighted to announce the signing of Dynamo Kiev striker Dieumerci Mbokani on a season-long loan, with an option to buy, pending the approval of a work permit.A DR Congo international alongside City''s Youssouf Mulumbu, the 29-year-old began in his native country with Bel''Or and TP Mazembe before moving on loan to Belgian side Anderlecht in 2006 ahead of a permanent switch to Standard Liege.The forward took in brief spells with Monaco and Wolfsburg during the 2010-11 campaign, prior to returning to Anderlecht.His goals helped secure the Belgian First Division title in both of the next two seasons, while also earning him the 2013 Golden Shoe award - given to the best player in the league - ahead of the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and Carlos Bacca.Such form earned a move to Kiev in June 2013, where he has subsequently netted 19 times in 46 matches for the Ukrainian giants.Across the course of his European-based career, he has made 253 appearances and scored 111 goals, including in the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League.City boss Alex Neil said: "Dieumerci is going to give us competition at the top end of the pitch, and I think we''ve needed a bit of strengthening there."He''s a big, strong number nine - he can take the ball in, he''s mobile and he''s a real threat in the box. We''re hoping all of those things come together for him."He''s got a good track record and he''s played Champions League football, so I think it''s an exciting signing for us."Read more at http://www.canaries.co.uk/news/article/mbokani-transfer-dynamo-kiev-norwich-city-2659516.aspx#eEy2i4HhJ9w6zeEt.99 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
