Ghanaian footballer, Mohammed Sumaila has made a record move to a Turkish village team named Yörükalispor for four and a half kilogram [10 pounds] of olive oil.

Sumaila, who has played in various amateur teams for five years in Turkey, said he made the move because the team does not have money to pay.

The 25-year-old Ghanaian would stay with the team for a tournament, which will last one month.

“I am 25 years old and I have been playing football in amateur teams in Turkey for about 5 years and I have been playing football in Torbali, Tire, Soma and Gaziemir teams.

“I transferred to the Kütahya team for next season. I only moved to Yörükalispor to play in their one-month long football tournament in Mudanya.

“I came to the village team upon the invitation of Tayfun Albayrak and he said that the villagers would give me the olive oil they had obtained from the olives they produced and so, I accepted the offer” Goal.com quoted the footballer as saying.
