Ghana defender Jerry Akaminko is hoping to make a mark at his new club side Eskisehirspor after signing a 3-year deal worth €1.35m. Akaminko completed his switch from Turkish lower division side Manisaspor to top-flight club Eskisehirspor on Monday. The former Heart of Lions defender who has spent four seasons in Turkey with his first club being Orduspor in the Turkish second-tier before moving to Manisaspor wants to live up to the challenger. “This is a move that for a very long time I have been expecting and I think it’s really good for me because I always take a step ahead”. He told JOY Sports “It’s a real big challenge for me because it took sometime before the deal went through and I have to prove them right why they think I should be in the team and why they have to spend that much on me”
