Asamoah Gyan (INSET) played for the club for two years
Drama
unfolded in the offices of Turkish top-flight side Kayserispor after its player
Asamoah Gyan sent debt collectors to seize properties belonging to the club.
The Black
Stars forward was compelled to take the action after several failed promises of
paying his outstanding wages of € 435,000 before the start of May.
This
looks like the most drastic action taken by a footballer over his unpaid wages
in Turkey where some clubs are notorious for not paying the wages of their
players.
With his
contract expiring at the end of next month and with no hope of the monies being
paid, the Ghana general captain had no option than to send the debt collectors
on Monday.
Gyan’s
appointed debt collectors stepped in by moving to the club’s headquarters and
loaded several items from office furniture, computers and even carpets.
Desperate
to avoid global embarrassment, Kayserispor’s lawyers quickly contacted Gyan’s
legal representatives to stop the operation and begged for more time to pay at
a later date.
Having
played for the club for two years, Gyan was not keen on courting bad publicity
for the club and acceded to the request of Kayserispor lawyers.
It was
the second time in one week that the international striker had taken such
action over the money.
Under the
leadership of Erol Badr, Kayserispor has suffered severe financial problems
with several players said not to have been paid their salaries.
The
Ghanaian footballer’s season even though blighted by injuries, has played 17
official matches, scored five goals and made three assists.
Gyan’s
contract at Kayserispor will end on 30 June 2019 after joining the club on a
free transfer two years ago.
His career abroad includes stints with Udinese, Rennes, Sunderland, Al Ain, and Shanghai SIPG.
