The claims that Shakhtar Donetsk made an offer to Arda Turan were asked to Taras Stepanenko, who plays for Eyüspor. Stepanenko, who wore the Shakhtar jersey for 15 years, responded, "If the coach wants, he can ask me about something related to Shakhtar. I would be very happy if he joins Shakhtar. Why shouldn't they try a guy who is fighting for European cups with a modest club in Turkey?"

Taras Stepanenko, who transferred from Shakhtar Donetsk to Eyüpspor during the winter transfer period, responded to claims that he made an offer to Arda Turan, the new head coach of the Ukrainian giant he wore the jersey for 15 years. Stepanenko's statements drew attention.

"I WOULD BE HAPPY IF HE JOINS SHAKHTAR"

Speaking to the YouTube channel BurBuzz, which broadcasts in Ukraine, Stepanenko responded to the question, "How do you evaluate the claims that Shakhtar made an offer to Arda Turan? Maybe you have asked him this," by saying, "Yes, I saw this claim, but I didn't ask him. If the coach wants, he can ask me something about Shakhtar, but I would be very happy if he joins Shakhtar. He is a good man."

"WHY NOT GIVE IT A TRY?"

Stating that Arda Turan is a young and quality coach, Stepanenko said, "He was a great football player. He played in the best teams in Europe. Why not? Shakhtar previously appointed Fonseca and De Zerbi as young coaches. They also hadn't taken their first steps in very big teams. So why not give a chance to a man who is fighting for European cups with a modest club in Turkey?"

"OF COURSE, I WOULD RECOMMEND"

In response to the question, "Are these words a recommendation from Stepanenko to Shakhtar to pay attention to Arda Turan?" the experienced footballer said, "Yes, of course. I think if it was written, this information must have come from somewhere. Maybe he is on a list somewhere."
