Ekuban is here today. “The world is small. So when you think big, you make the world smaller. First of all, we never really felt alone when we made this deal. There was such a nice warm atmosphere, energy and above all, an atmosphere as if we had known each other for centuries.”

Ekuban: “I hope this cooperation will bring good results here too”

Ekuban, who played for Trabzonspor in 2018-2021 and transferred to Genoa club at the beginning of the season, also said the following about the sponsorship agreement:

“The first thing I felt when I heard that Damat was our sponsor was that the Turks did not want to leave me. I had a good experience at Trabzonspor, I have good feelings. I want to establish similar ties here as I managed to win a trophy at Trabzonspor. I hope this cooperation will be good here too. It brings results.”

Asked if he had a message for Trabzonspor players, Ekuban said, “Obviously I don’t like to give a message, but I learned a lot as a football player and a person in Trabzon. I learned to go out on the field and dominate the game and try to win because we felt the weight of the colors we carry. It reminded us that we were there to win. Now, every time I go out on the field, I go out to win, which will be my lifelong goal.” gave the answer.
