Galatasaray have taken up their option to sign Christian Luyindama permanently from Standard Liege for a â‚¬ 5 million fee.

Luyindama, who started his career as an attacker with Tout Puissant Mazembe, helped the Congolese side to win the 2016 Caf Confederation Cup.

He went on to join Standard Liege in 2017, initially on loan, before the deal was made permanent, and he made 58 league appearances before his departure.

Luyindama will be expected to feature for Galatasaray when they take on Greek side Panathinaikos in a pre-season friendlyÂ on Saturday.
