Kasimpasa have completed the transfer of Sweden international Andreas Isaksson.
The Turkish club confirmed on their official website that the goalkeeper has signed a contract until the summer of 2015.
Isaksson was available on a free after being released by PSV earlier this summer.
The Istanbul side were desperate to add an experienced goalkeeper to their squad following their promotion to Turkey s top flight, and have now found their man in Isaksson.
The 30-year-old started his professional career with Trelleborg, and also featured for Juventus, Djurgarden, Stade Rennais and Manchester City before joining PSV in the summer of 2008.
He made 123 Eredivisie appearances for the Eindhoven side, but became surplus to requirements with the arrival of …

Following contrasting midweek experiences, Italian powerhouses Juventus and AC Milan clash on Saturday, with the race for second place in Serie A still wide open.
AC Milan endured the disappointment of witnessing their arch-rivals clinch the Scudetto at San Siro, while Juventus secured a spot in the Coppa Italia final with a late goal in Rome against Lazio.
Juventus
Despite letting a two-goal lead slip from the first leg and facing the prospect of an embarrassing cup exit, Juventus clinched a late twist in Tuesday s 3-2 aggregate win over Lazio, securing their return to the Italian capital for next month s cup final.
Arkadiusz Milik, who scored moments after coming on as a substitute, propelled the Bianconeri throug…
FIFA insists secretary general Jerome Valcke was not involved in the administration of a $10million payment outlined in last week s United States Department of Justice indictment.
US authorities allege the sum was paid as a bribe to secure the 2010 World Cup for South Africa, with the New York Times reporting Valcke was responsible for transferring the funds to CONCACAF then led by the indicted Jack Warner.
A FIFA statement read: In 2007, as part of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the South African Government approved a USD 10m project to support the African diaspora in Caribbean countries as part of the World Cup legacy.
At the request of the South African Government, and in agreement with the South African Football Association (SAFA), FIFA was asked to pro…
Allegri admits Cassano wants out
Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri has confirmed reports suggesting that star forward Antonio Cassano has expressed his desire to leave San Siro this summer.
The highly rated forward has been heavily linked with a summer exit from San Siro, and the Rossoneri tactician explains that it was the player himself who requested a transfer.
“It’s a shame,” Allegri said to Milan Channel after the 3-2 defeat to Juventus in the Trofeo Berlusconi clash. “Antonio has been here for a year and a half.
“He did really well in his first six months where he made the difference. Then the problem with his heart stopped him.
“I think that despite the qualities of Cassano, it’s not a good idea to keep players against their wi…
Shanghai Shenhua s technical director has launched a scathing attack on big-money imports to the Chinese Super League, but says the club are pulling out all the stops to sign Carlos Tevez.
A number of star players have flocked to the CSL in recent years, where government backing has left a host of clubs with money to burn.
The league s transfer record was broken three times in the space of a week as Ramires, Jackson Martinez and Alex Teixeira moved to China, with a $60million deal taking Hulk to Shanghai SIPG in June this year topping the lot.
Shenhua were at the forefront of China s transfer revolution as they signed Nicolas Anelka and Didier Drogba in 2012, although both left the club within a year, claiming they had not been paid.
And club official Wu …
Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool have avoided Premier League opposition in the FA Cup fourth-round draw.
Defending champions United thumped Reading 4-0 to earn a place in the hat and they will entertain Championship side and 2012-13 winners Wigan Athletic.
It is a tie that gives former United reserves manager Warren Joyce a return to Old Trafford.
Chelsea will play host in a local derby against Brentford, while Liverpool will face Wolves at Anfield if they overcome Plymouth Argyle in a third-round replay at Home Park on January 18.
Arsenal could also avoid top-flight opposition as they take on the winner of Southampton s match against Norwich City, while Manchester City have been drawn an away trip to either Bolton Wanderers or Crystal Palace…
Antoine Griezmann has refused to rule out a move to Real Madrid after scoring the equaliser in Saturday s derby at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The France international netted his 15th LaLiga goal of the season with five minutes of normal time left to play to cancel out Pepe s earlier header and salvage a 1-1 draw for Atletico Madrid.
Griezmann, who has been heavily linked with a potential move to Atletico s city rivals, has scored more league goals against Madrid since 2013 than any other player having netted five in that period while he has found the net in three of his last four league visits to the Bernabeu for both Atleti and Real Sociedad.
And the 26-year-old says he wants to keep up his formidable record at the home of the European champions though he has aga…
Wayne Rooney believes Jose Mourinho has helped Manchester United to reboot their winning mentality.
Rooney helped United to the last of their 20 English titles in Alex Ferguson s final season at the helm in 2012-13, with the subsequent David Moyes and Louis van Gaal years jarringly barren by comparison.
Van Gaal did claim FA Cup glory as a swansong at the end of last season before making way for Mourinho and an indifferent start to the current campaign followed.
But United head into Saturday s game against Watford with a 15-match unbeaten Premier League run to their name, as well as the EFL Cup final to follow against Southampton at Wembley later this month.
During this period, Rooney netted a last-minute equaliser at Stoke City to usurp Bobby Charlton as…
Spain cruised to an emphatic 4-1 win over France to reach the European Under-21 Championship final where they will once again meet Germany.
Luis de la Fuente s side looked to be in a spot of bother after going behind early on, but they showed admirable character and plenty of class to turn things around with minimal fuss and earn themselves the opportunity to avenge their 1-0 defeat to Germany in the 2017 final.
France opened the scoring from the spot through Jean-Philippe Mateta, but their lead lasted 12 minutes, Marc Roca blasting in before Mikel Oyarzabal put Spain in front with the second penalty of the match in first-half stoppage time.
Les Bleus offered precious little in attack after their early goal and Spain wrapped things up in the second half thr…
It was not total football that saw Netherlands advance to a Women s World Cup final against the United States, but a cocktail of grit, determination and staying power.
Sweden head coach Peter Gerhardsson had spoken of his admiration for Dutch football ahead of Wednesday s second semi-final in Lyon.
He became incredibly fascinated with their style after witnessing the 1974 World Cup final between the men s teams of West Germany and Netherlands, the latter led by Johan Cruyff and the Total Football philosophy that transformed the sport and was adopted and adapted by many of the future teams that would come.
This was not a Netherlands performance that adhered to such principles, though Gerhardsson should have had grudging respect for the way the Oranje secured a 1-0…
