However Birinci told Goal.com that the move is on hold after abnormal blood values were found during the 34-year-old's medical.
"Eboue signed for a club and, as a normal procedure, we took him for a medical to check him out," Birinci told Goal.
"They found abnormal blood values so they didn't issue the licence and we took the decision to send him to England to have medical check-ups there.
"It's wrong to say at this point he has HIV. Turkish news reports are wrong. I made it [Eboue’s situation] clear two days ago. Even if it will be true it shouldn't be published like that."
