Eyong Enoh
Fulham have completed the signing of Cameroon midfielder Eyong Enoh on loan until the end of the season, with the deal holding an option to buy on a two year contract.

The 26 year-old is a very similar player to Emmanuel Frimpong - strong in the tackle and resilient - but, with five years on the Arsenal loanee, carries more experience.

He has worked with Jol before, again, at Ajax, and adds another central midfield option that Fulham have badly required.

Though not a hugely creative player, Enoh has the technical capabilities to get by and is expected to compete with Frimpong and Mahamadou Diarra for a space in the middle of the park.

Medo Kamara
Bolton have completed the signing of Partizan Belgrade midfielder Medo Kamara, subject to international clearance.

Kamara is a Sierra Leone international, who occupies the role of defensive midfielder.

His contract with Partizan was due to expire at the end of the season and Wanderers are thought to have concluded a deal in the region of £300,000.

He has signed a three-and-a-half year contract at the Reebok Stadium.

The 25-year-old was linked with a £16million switch to Tottenham Hotspur in the summer, but a move failed to materialise.

Nelspruit pitch
Africa Cup of Nations organisers have given the go-ahead for knock-out ties to be played in Nelspruit, despite the condition of the pitch.

The surface at the Mbombela Stadium, which also hosted six group games, has been criticised by players and coaches.

But chairman of the Local Organising Committee, Chief Mwelo Nonkonyana, said weather conditions were to blame.

He also confirmed that the quarter-final between Burkina Faso and Togo and a semi-final will take place there.

"There are some people with technical expertise, who said they may have to do something in the next week to make it up to standard," Nonkonyana, who is also a vice-president of the South Africa Football Association, told BBC Sport.

Cameroonian right-back Benoit Angbwa has rejoined Premier League side Krylya Sovetov Samara, his previous team FC Rostov said Thursday.

Angbwa played 14 league games for Rostov after arriving from Anzhi Makhachkala in July. He has been playing in Russia since 2006, when he joined Krylya from French side Lille.

"Today the football clubs Rostov and Krylya Sovetov signed a transfer contract that sees the Cameroonian defender Benoit Angbwa continue his career with the Samara team," Rostov said.

The 31-year-old spent one season with Krylya before moving to now-defunct Saturn Ramenskoye. In 2011, he joined Anzhi but failed to hold down a regular place.

Mohamed Aboutrika
Ahly have agreed a six-month loan deal for Mohamed Abou-Treika with Emirati side Bani Yas.

“Ahly has agreed to send Abou-Treika out on loan because the future of the Egyptian league is still uncertain due to the current political situation in the country,” Ahly football director Sayed Abdel-Hafiz was quoted as saying on the club’s official website.

The deal amounts to LE8 million ($1.2 million), divided between the player and the club. The paperwork is due to be finalised today before the winter transfer window closes.

“Abou-Treika’s loan will give a good opportunity for new talents to be promoted to the first team,” Abdel-Hafiz added.

Chris Samba
Christopher Samba has signed a four-and-a-half-year deal with QPR after completing a 12.5 million pound switch from Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala.

The Rs activated the center back's release clause on Wednesday and have now put the finishing touches to a deal to bring the Congo-born stopper back to the Premier League.

Manager Harry Redknapp has been desperate to reinforce his defense following the departures of Anton Ferdinand (loan to Bursaspor) and Ryan Nelsen (coaching Toronto FC) this month and had previously been linked with a move for Fulham’s Brede Hangeland.
