Appiah quits Fenerbahce !...

According to reports from Ghana, Stephen Appiah claims he has quit Fenerbahce after a fall-out with the club's management.

The 27-year-old midfielder has spent close to nine months on the sidelines due to a long-standing knee injury which forced him to miss the African Nations Cup in his home country earlier this year.

He has been linked with a move away from Turkey all summer and this latest twist could create plenty of interest in Appiah before the transfer window closes at the end of August.

'I am a free agent,' he told Accra radio station Happy FM at the weekend. 'A few issues happened between me and the club so I no longer play for them.'
