Fenerbahce new recruit Andre Ayew is unhappy his best friend Bafetimbi Gomis left the Turkish Super Lig to sign for a Saudi Arabian club.

Gomis who was in the books of Galatasaray left to sign for top-flight side Al Hilal.

Ayew and Gomis have been clubmates twice-at French giants Olympique Marseille and at Swansea City during the 2015/2016 season.

The Ghana international had wanted to reunite with his friend in Turkey but that's not to be at least for now.

"I was disappointed by Gomis’ departure because my best friend left. We are very close, he’s like my brother. I respect him very much and he respects me. I talked with him about the transfer.

"Gomis loved Galatasaray and he was very popular here. He had to leave and so he left.

"I wanted to play in a derby against him. But God knows what’s best for us. Of course, his departure will make Galatasaray weaker. This gives us an advantage in the title race."
