Felix Afena-Gyan Iğdır FK Scout Report
Felix Afena-Gyan
Quick Answer
Felix Afena-Gyan is a Ghanaian forward who broke through under José Mourinho at AS Roma before a €7.5m move to Cremonese in 2022. After a loan spell at Amedspor in 2025-26, where he contributed 5 goals and 6 assists to their promotion to the Süper Lig, he was signed permanently from Cremonese by Iğdır FK on a 2-year deal in the summer of 2026. His biggest strength is being a Serie A-proven young talent; the key thing to track is whether he can sustain that output with regular TFF 1. Lig minutes.

- Proven form in Turkey — 5 goals and 6 assists on loan at Amedspor confirm his adaptation to Turkish football.
