Aris Thessaloniki are close to completing the signing of Oghenekaro Etebo with the Stoke City midfielder agreeing personal terms with the Greek Super League club.

Aris and Stoke City already reached an agreement last week and the Greek club were negotiating with the Nigeria international.

According to BBC journalist Oluwashina Okeleji, Etebo will join Aris on a season-long loan.

The former Warri Wolves star is waiting for a visa to be issued before flying out to Thessaloniki to formalize his switch to Aris.

Etebo is in the final year of his contract at Stoke City and has been declared surplus to requirements by the leadership of the Championship club.

The 26-year-old has not been involved in any of the nine matches the Potters have contested in the new season.

He spent the whole of last season on loan at Watford but the Hornets did not activate the option to sign him on a permanent deal following their demotion to the Championship.

Injury limited his appearances to ten from a possible forty-one in all competitions over the course of the 2021-2022 campaign.
