Patrick Twumasi who plays for FC Astana in Kazakhstan was recently linked with a possible move to Bursaspor.

"Even Twumasi, I spoke to him," Badu stated.

"I told him I have been here for five days and the team has really welcomed me very well. Most of the players speak English so things have been easy for me."

"The management and media have been smiling to me and that is a plus. The supporters have been wonderful. That’s what I told them and they are very happy. We will see what will happen."

The Turkish Super Lig already have the following Ghanaian players this season Joseph Attamah Larweh, Asamoah Gyan, John Boye, Nuru Sulley, Kamal Issah, Elvis Manu.
