Levski Sofia's Nigerian forward Ekundayo Jaiyeoba signed a contract Thursday to join Israeli team Maccabi Herzliya on loan until the end of the season, his team announced Thursday.

There is also an option for the Israeli club to buy Jaiyeoba's transfer rights, Levski added in a statement.

The 27-year-old Nigerian is the fourth Levski player to transfer to Israel, following the transfers of captain and defender Elin Topuzakov, midfielder Dimitar Telkiyski and French midfielder Cedric Bardon into Israeli sides Hapoel Tel Aviv and Bnei Yehuda.
