The 33 year old has become one of the key players for his side in a short period and has often been placed in the number 10 role to cause damage to his opponents.
The clash against Galatasary on Saturday will be the first derby of his career and he has taken some time to get some information about the match from his team mates and is eager to impress according to reports from Turkey.
The Ghanaian forward has scored two goals in five matches for the club so far.
