The former England striker, 29, was mobbed by 3,000 fans when he arrived for talks in the Turkish capital Ankara earlier this month.

He has now agreed a two-year deal with Ankaragucu, who escaped relegation by a single point last term.

Vassell, who was released by Manchester City at the end of the season, said: “I do not want to talk too much.

“All I want to do is play football. Ankaragucu is working hard for success.”
