Emmanuel Gyasi pens heartfelt message to Empoli after joining Palermo

Ghana midfielder Emmanuel Gyasi has penned a heartfelt message to Empoli following his move to Serie B side Palermo. 

The 31-year-old joined Palermo on a season-long loan deal, with the Pink and Black having the option of making the move a permanent one.

Gyasi spent two seasons at Empoli, featuring consistently for the Blues but they suffered demotion last season after finishing 18th in the Serie A.

Following his departure, Gyasi posted on Instagram: "Thank you so much. After two intense and exciting years, the time has come to say goodbye. I would like to sincerely thank President Fabrizio Corsi and Vice President Rebecca Corsi for the trust and support they have always shown me.

"I sincerely thank all my teammates and coaches I have had over these two years: it has been a privilege to share this journey with you. Thanks also to the coaching staff, the warehouse workers, and all the people who work passionately behind the scenes every day for the good of the team.

"The year hasn't gone the way we all would have liked, but I'm sure Empoli will soon return to where it deserves to be.

"A special thanks goes to you, Empoli fans: you have always been by our side, in the good times and the most difficult. Your affection has accompanied me every day and will remain forever in my heart. I will carry with me every emotion experienced in this shirt."

During his time at Empoli, Gyasi made 77 appearances, scoring 3 goals and delivering six assists.
