In the most unexpected move of the week, Sicilian outfit Palermo secured themselves the services of Nigerian sensation Stephan Makinwa.
The ‘Rosanero’ dished out 8 million Euros to Atalanta for Makinwa, who is considered by various pundits as the best Nigerian forward in circulation together with Inter’s Obafemi Martins.
The contract details have yet to be disclosed.
The club chaired by Massimo 'Zampa' Zamparini have been following Makinwa since the end of last season, however their interest had seemed to dwindle in the past weeks when Makinwa seemed destined to join one between Inter and Stuggart.
Now that Palermo have signed the two forwards they were after, Makinwa and former Brescia tower Caracciolo, Luca Toni is free to leave the island, with Fiorentina and Inter in pole-position for his signature.
