Kasımpaşa have completed the transfer of Kalu Uche from Espanyol for €1.5 million on a three-year deal.

Uche told BBC Sport, "I'm excited with this whole new life and challenge.

"Obviously, the offer is a good one and once both clubs agreed on a deal, it was a lot easier to sort the personal terms.

"It's a good deal financially and on a sporting aspect, importantly, I am happy with everything."

The 29-year-old striker joined Espanyol from Neuchâtel Xamax on a free transfer during the winter transfer window. The Nigerian international impressed during his short stay, scoring six times in 16 games for the La Liga outfit.
