Darius Vassell is delighted to be back in England with Leicester City.

The former England international admits he struggled to adapt to life at Ankaragucu.

Vassell told the Daily Mail: "After I had signed I realised that there wasn't anyone I could turn to. Perhaps people will say it's ignorant but the move happened so quickly and you don't have the first clue about the language, the religion, their customs or beliefs, different holidays. The way they think.

"For example, I'd turn up to training and there would be no one there. I'd find out it was a public holiday.

"Then there was an incident at the hotel I was staying in, when one day I was just told to leave. I assumed the club hadn't been paying the bills. I had to go and find myself a place to stay, which would have been fine if someone had bothered to tell me what was going on.

"I've never been one to complain. I think most people at Villa and Manchester City would tell you that I just get on with things.

"I went there to play football. The problem is that you cannot concentrate on doing that if there are other issues that needed to be dealt with. But in the end, I don't think I was thinking about football much."
