Ghana goalkeeper Richard Kingson is expected to arrive in Turkey on Saturday to seal a hotly contested transfer to second tier side Bal?kesirspor, GHANAsoccernet.com can exclusively reveal.

The 35-year-old, who plays for Cyrpiot side Doxa Katokopia, has already agreed the deal with Bal?kesirspor, insiders from the Turkish club have told Ghana's leading football news outfit.

According to high ranking officials of Bal?kesirspor Kingson will undergo a medical lastest by Sunday and if he is successful he will sign the contract to return to the Turkish game.

Kingson will sign a two-and-a-half years contract Bal?kesirspor if the formalities go through without a hitch.

Despite admitting that two Turkish clubs have expressed interest in signing Kingson, the goalkeeper's agent Tekin Birinci insists no deal has been done yet.

"We are having offers from Turkish teams and also from other teams but richard Kingson is still Doxa player," Kingson's agent Tekin Birinci told Ghanasoccernet.com exclusively.

The next 24 hours will prove crucial in Kingson seeking to seal the deal as there was huge speculation that Kingson had arrived in Turkey but he is still in Turkey.
