Kazim-Richards was expected to move back to English football, but has now agreed a three-and-a-half-year contract with Galatasaray.
“It is like a dream to me because I know I’ve come to an important club,” Kazým told Gala’s official website.
“They purchased me with great expectations, and I will live up to them in the best way I can.
“What I am concentrating on is what I can do with the Galatasaray jersey on.
“It is a new chapter for me. And it is a new chapter for Galatasaray. The team is moving on to a new and very beautiful stadium. It will be great for me and my team.”
