Ghana international striker Caleb Ekuban has confirmed he is leaving Trabzonspor for a new experience at Genoa in the Italian Serie A.
The transfer is believed to be worth €2m plus performance-related bonuses, according to Sky Sport Italia.
“Hello guys, this is Caleb Ekuban speaking from Trabzonspor,” he said in an Instagram Stories video.
“Now is the time to change. I choose to take another train to Genoa.”
He also posted a message on Instagram that confirmed his exit from the Turkish club and a return to Italy, which is where he was born and raised.
His parents are from Ghana, so the 27-year-old plays his international football for Ghana, scoring three goals in nine caps.
“When home calls you can’t say no and that’s what happened.”
Ekuban was born in Villafranca di Verona and came up through the Chievo youth academy, with loan spells in the lower divisions at Sudtirol, Lumezzane and Renate.
After FK Partizani in Albania, he went to Leeds United, and then on for Trabzonspor in 2018.
When he plays for Genoa, that will represent his Serie A debut.
