Video: Adiyiah arrives to seal shock move to Turkish second division

Published on: 19 July 2011

Ghana striker Dominic Adiyiah has arrived in Turkey to conclude details of a shock move to the ambitious Turkish second division side Karsiyaka.

The bumper cash move, to the club owned by one of Turkey’s richest men, could severely damage his chances of playing for the Black Stars.

GHANAsoccernet.com understands that the move has been mooted by AC Milan who have close links with the owner of Karsiyaka.

Hundreds of supporters of the club met the former world youth best player at the Adnan Mederes Airport in Izmir on hearing that they were about to make their biggest ever signing.

The vociferous fans waited for hours to meet Adiyiah and when he landed they broke into singing and dancing while chanting the Ghanaian player’s name.

Fireworks and pyrotechnics also welcomed the striker as extra policemen and security officials had to be called in to control the ecstatic crowd

He was carried shoulder high while wearing the club’s jersey to greet the fans before being whisked away to see the club’s facilities.

Adiyiah will be given time to settle the doubts in his mind over the move to a second division side in Turkey, which will negatively affect his place in the Black Stars.

With Matthew Amoah on the radar of Ajax Amsterdam, Italy-based Richmond Boakye Yiadom being considered for the Black Stars and Junior Agogo eyeing a comeback in Scotland, he could fall out of the limelight thus costing him his place in the Black Stars.

Adiyiah will have the next 24 hours to decide whether he wants the move or wants to return to AC Milan.

There are clubs in the French top-flight, Germany and Turkish top-flight who are keen on him.
