Kuyt spent three seasons at Feyenoord, scoring 71 goals in 101 games, becoming a fan favourite at the Rotterdam based club.

“I want to return to the Netherlands,” Kyut was quoted as saying by the Turkish newspaper Milliyet.

“Yes, I could earn more money playing elsewhere in Europe however, I want to be the Netherlands Ryan Giggs.”
