OFFICIAL: TURKISH SIDE KAYSERISPOR COMPLETE SIGNING OF ASAMOAH GYAN AS GHANA STAR RETURNS TO EUROPE

Turkish side Kayserispor have completed the signing of Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan on a two-year deal with an option for a renewal as the extraordinary striker ends a five-year adventure in Asia. 

The 31-year-old goal scoring machine completed formalities on Wednesday after ending his loan stint with UAE side Al Ahli.

The deal is believed to be worth €1.5 million euros annually.

A club statement read: "An agreement has been reached with world famous footballer Asamoah Gyan to join Kayserispor,"

"President Dr Erol BEDİR, actor Asamoah GYAN, Gökhan Altıntaş, Tuna Kaya and our club officials have signed a 2 + 1 year contract with the Ghanaian in the last meeting in Istanbul.

"Our president Dr.Erol BEDİR and Asamoah GYAN will move to Kayseri with 21.20 plane tonight."

Kayserispor have won the race to sign the striker who has an impeccable goal scoring record for both club and country.

Gyan was on the verge of joining Bursaspor but the move collapsed after the club failed to reach an agreement with the former Sunderland striker.

His move to Bursaspor would have seen Gyan earn an annual salary of €1.6m, representing about 84% reduction in the Ghana superstar's salary after earning about $12m per year with Chinese side SIPG for the past three years.

The Ghanaian found the back of the net 8 times in the last 21 games for Al Ahli of Dubai.
