Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan has hailed Turkish fans as 'crazy'.

The 31-year-old has joined top-flight side Kayserispor after ending his five year spell in Asia.

The Ghanaian was mobbed by thousands of fans on arrival in Istanbul and he has reserved special praise for the fans.

" Turkish fans really love football and the team they keep. This is crazy," he told fanatik.com.tr

"You can understand this in social media. There are 50 thousand messages. I'm trying to answer the lot. I feel compelled to face this interest myself. "

The Ghanaian super star is expected to be key for a side which has escaped relegation by a whisker in the last two seasons.
