Former Ghana player Yaw Preko believes current Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan will succeed in Turkey.
Gyan sealed a two-year deal with Turkish side Kayserispor on Wednesday.
The 31-year old is therefore making a return to Europe after been away for five years.
Many believe the all time Ghana leading goal scorer will struggle but Yaw Preko who spent six seasons in Turkey, playing for clubs such as Fenerbahce, Yimpas Yozgatspor and Gaziantespor thinks otherwise.
"Turkey is a place where people worship football hence it's a blessing for every footballer to play in that country," Preko told Happy FM.
"It's a country where black players are cherished, and I can say on authority that the six years I spent there were the best period during my football career but the only challenge is with their journalist because just like Ghana, they criticize a lot."
"It's great that Gyan has moved there because I believe he can raise the flag of Ghana high like we did in our days; (Augustine) Arhinful, (Richard) Arhinful, (Sam) Johnson and (Stephen) Appiah.
"I believe he has what it takes to become an instant hit. It’s better late than never and I wish him good luck," Preko concluded.
