Hertha Berlin striker Solomon Okoronkwo has joined Russian outfit Saturn Ramenskoye.

The Nigerian youngster, who won silver with his national team at the Beijing Olympics, has completed the move for a seven-figure sum, the club confirmed on Sunday.

Okoronkwo will team up with former Berlin coach Jurgen Rober who took over the reins at Saturn last week.

The 21-year-old, who has been handed a three-year contract, made a total of 39 Bundesliga appearances for Hertha and scored four goals.
