• According to the former Ghana international, the club's routine practice before home matches was to slaughter sheep in front of the team bus

Legendary Ghanaian striker Asamoah Gyan has opened up on how Turkish outfit Kayserispor observes a strange club ritual prior to home games.

Gyan, Ghana's all-time leading scorer with 51 goals, had a two-year stint with the Kayserispor, which was marred by niggling injuries.

In an interview with Accra-based Angel FM, the former Black Stars captain shed light on some of the club's unusual pre-game rituals.

“I saw a lot because, before we play home matches, they had to slaughter a sheep in front of the team bus before it set off to the stadium.” Gyan said as quoted by angelonline.

Due to the recurring injuries in Turkey, Gyan mustered a paltry five goals in 26 matches, a far cry from his usually prolific nature.

The well-travelled striker further disclosed a similar situation during his time with India top-flight club NorthEast United, where the entire team visited a powerful shrine before the start of one of their season.

He is currently unattached after the expiration of his contract with Ghana Premier League side Legon Cities last year but has stressed he has not retired yet.
