Chelsea striker Islam Feruz is set to sign for OFI Crete on-loan.

The Scot had signed for Russia's Krylia Sovetov Samara, but cut short the move barely 48 hours into the deal.

He said in a statement:

"At one time it was very difficult to get used to English life, and now I do not feel the strength to re-do the same way in another country, with one hundred percent surrendering football. Maybe then I'll regret the decision taken now, but now I'm doing the right thing. I sincerely wish the success of "Wings" and local fans and very much hope that my departure will not hurt the team on the way to victory."

However, he is now set to join OFI Crete today.
