By Monsurah Olatunji
Libyan giants, Al Ahli Tripoli have confimed the signing of Nigerian striker John Ebuka on loan for the rest of the season.
The Zamalek target broke into the scene during his time with ENPPI, where he scored 15 goals and provided five assists in 33 games, before completing a surprise move to Egyptian Premier League club Cleopatra FC.
However, Ebuka failed to replicate these performances with his new club as he found the back of the net on just three occasions in 14 games this season.

Al Ahli Tripoli took advantage of the situation and managed to snatch the 26-year-old Nigerian on loan.
