From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

Drissa Camara signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Drissa Camara commits to Gaziantep for another 2 years.

Market

Turgut Yazgan has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Gaziantep they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Boardroom

Turgut Yazgan has agreed to leave Gaziantep for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Squad

Tempers go at Gaziantep

Tayyip Talha Sanuç was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market

Ali Osman Kalın attracts admirers

The name of Ali Osman Kalın has come up in conversations Gaziantep were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

Words at Gaziantep training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Yağız Fikri Şen is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

Luis Pérez damages knee ligaments — 32 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 32 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

A fracture rules Kerem Akgun out for 93 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Gaziantep will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

Kacper Kozłowski is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.65 with 19 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Ryotaro Araki yet — 8.19

At 33 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.19 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad

Jani Allaert says Gaziantep went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Match

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Gaziantep and Umraniyespor in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Match

Gaziantep see off Umraniyespor

Three points for Gaziantep, 4‑2 the final word against Umraniyespor in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Match

Another one collected away from home

3 on the bounce on the road for Gaziantep. The coaches leave early, arrive at unlovely grounds in the dark, and keep coming home with three points.

Player ratings

Kacper Kozłowski gives it away

There was no pressure on him and nowhere he had to be. Gaziantep lost a goal to a decision that took half a second and will be discussed all week.

Squad

Diego Píriz: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Gaziantep have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.
