Fenerbahce says it has signed Senegal forward Moussa Sow from Lille.

Fenerbahce says the 26-year-old Sow has agreed to play for the Istanbul side until the end of the 2015-16 season. It gave no further detail on the terms of the transfer.

Private NTV television says Fenerbahce will pay Sow and his former club Lille about ?20 million ($26.3 million).

The Turkish club is embroiled in a match-fixing scandal that allegedly involved 19 league games last season. The club was barred from the Champions League.
