DONE DEAL: Sivasspor officially announce the signing of Robinho

By Promise Amadi

Former Manchester City and Real Madrid star Robinho has agreed to sign for Turkish side Sivasspor despite being sentenced to nine years in prison for gang rape last year.

The 33-year-old, along with five others, was implicated for an attack on an Albanian girl in a Milan nightclub in January 2013. The Brazilian striker was found guilty in November but Robinho has since appealed his sentence, which could take years to be resolved.
