APOEL signs Peter Olayinka on short-term contract until May 2026

APOEL FC officially announced the signing of Nigerian international winger Peter Olayinka on February 12, 2026. The contract is set to run until May 2026, effectively covering only the remaining three months of the current season. Olayinka, born in November 1995, joins the Nicosia-based club with a career record of 364 matches, 102 goals, and 61 assists across leagues in Albania, the Czech Republic, and Serbia. This acquisition marks the club's third transfer of the winter window, following Milos Degenek and Daniel Mancini. The player passed his medical examinations and participated in a traditional introductory photo with President Prodromos Petridis. Despite the new signing, Petridis remains under significant pressure from supporters calling for his resignation. Media reports suggest the president will soon clarify his intentions regarding his future at the helm of the club. The signing is finalized as the January transfer period has concluded.
