Amedspor have finalized the signing of Nigerian winger Yira Sor from Belgian Pro League club Genk, bolstering their squad for their inaugural Turkish Super Lig season. The club announced the acquisition on Monday via their social media channels, expressing excitement over the 26-year-old's addition. Sor, who joined Genk from Slavia Prague in January 2023, had his tenure in Belgium marred by injuries that hampered his playing time.
His international debut for Nigeria came in March. The arrival of Sor complements Gift Orban, a fellow Nigerian forward, who recently joined Amedspor on a season-long loan from Bundesliga side Hoffenheim. This move ends Orban's uncertainty after a season on loan at Italian club Hellas Verona, where he scored seven goals and provided three assists in 29 Serie A games but failed to avert the club's relegation.
The duo will join the ranks of other Nigerian players moving to the Turkish Super Lig this summer, following Kelechi Iheanacho's transfer to Bursaspor.
