Asamoah Gyan receives the backing of Sam Johnson to take the Turkish league by storm

Published on: 13 July 2017

Former Ghana defender Sam Johnson  believes Asamoah Gyan will be a success at his new Turkish club.

Gyan completed a two-year deal to Turkish side Kayserispor last week  on a free transfer.

The 31-year is making a return to Europe for the first time in five years.

Sam Johnson who spent eight years in the Turkish Super Lig, playing for clubs such as Fernerbahce, Gaziantepspor and Kayserispor is convinced  Gyan will do well in the Turkish League.

“I wish he had signed for a bigger club like Galatasaray or Fenerbahce because over there they have more quality players to help him perform well,” Johnson told Graphic Sports.

The former Hearts of Oak guardsman asserted that Turkish league is way ahead of the Asian leagues where Gyan had previously plied his trade.

“The Turkish league is ahead and much difficult than the Chinese league because over there you fight and ran a lot."
