Anzhi to sign striker Dominic Adiyiah

Ghanaian striker Dominic Adiyiah is in the camp of Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala and he will be signed as a replacement for Ivorian forward Lancina Traore, who moved to Monaco and later loaned to Everton.

Goal Ghana can exclusively reveal that talks between the former Arsenal Kiev striker and the relegation-threatened side are at an advanced stage and he even featured for them in a trial game against Volyn on Friday.


Adiyiah, 24, has failed to make a name in Europe after his fine performance which won him the 2009 World Under-20 best player.

The move to Anzhi could enhance his chances of making it into Ghana's World Cup squad. Levski Sofia and a host of other clubs in Eastern Europe were after him.
