The former Barcelona starlet has departed Lazio in search of regular first team football and will spend the remainder of the season on loan at The Sharks.

He has a Dutch passport and has represented the Netherlands at U16, U17 and U20 levels.

Since joining Lazio, the exciting winger has enjoyed loan spells at Cadiz in Spain and at ADO Den Haag in the Netherlands before returning to the Biancoceleste team.

Adekanye has been described as very skilled in dribbling, speed, shooting and providing assists to his teammates.
