Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan has signed a two-year deal with Turkish club Kayserispor.

He joins from the Chinese side Shanghai SIPG, who had loaned him to Al Ahli in the United Arab Emirates last season.

The 31-year-old ends a five-year absence from Europe after he left English club Sunderland in 2012.

Kayserispor have finished just one place above the relegation zone in the Turkish top flight for the last two seasons.
