The 21 year-old had agreed the move in January, but it was pending subject to the player completing his medical.
“Benito” as he is known, the Ivory Coast-born player joined the Ukraine club as a free agent after two seasons at Tambov.
Earlier in the year he told AOIfootball, “Actually I have signed a deal with Kyiv and everything has been done.
“I am just waiting for my passport to be ready so I can travel to Russia and then get my visa to make the move to Ukraine for the medicals and then join the team in Turkey for training ahead of the league resumption.”
“I have also been receiving series of messages from Galatasaray fans on social media it seems they were interested in bringing me to Turkey, some people even sent me pictures and videos from Galatasaray but I don’t know much about that.”
