Ghana striker, Kwesi Appiah has joined Norwegian side Viking FK on-loan from English Premier League side Crystal Palace. Appiah, 26, joined his new teammates at the La Manga Club in Spain on Wednesday afternoon.
He quickly checked-in before proceeding for his first workout at the magnificent resort in Murcia, Spain.
Appiah in an interview said he was never in doubt when Viking coach Ian Burchnall called to offer him a loan deal until the summer.
He also promised to hit the ground running for Viking when their league season starts on April 3.
Appiah suffered a career threatening knee injury during a training session with the Black Stars ahead of an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in June 7, 2015 and missed 12 months of football as a result.
He is hopeful that his loan spell at Viking will offer him the opportunity to revive his career.
