After the whistling of En-Nesyri in the Galatasaray derby, Fenerbahçe, which accelerated its search for a striker, received negative responses from Lewandowski and Sörloth. The new target for the yellow-navy team is Troy Parrott, who has been making waves in the Netherlands. The young striker has become Fenerbahçe's number one transfer target due to his impressive performance this season and his 'hero' role in the Irish national team. The management is preparing to open the purse strings for the 23-year-old striker.
In the derby where Fenerbahçe drew 1-1 with Galatasaray in Kadıköy, Youssef En-Nesyri virtually exhausted his credit with his ineffective performance. When he was substituted in the 64th minute, the fans' whistling reaction accelerated the management's decision to part ways with the Moroccan striker.
NEGATIVE RESPONSES FROM LEWANDOWSKI AND SÖRLOTH
Accelerating their search for a striker in the winter transfer window, Fenerbahçe knocked on the doors of two world-famous names: Robert Lewandowski: He did not want to leave Barcelona. Alexander Sörloth: Atletico Madrid's coach Diego Simeone did not allow it. With the difficulty of these two transfers, the direction completely changed.
NEW TARGET: TROY PARROTT
In meetings held by President Sadettin Saran and head coach Domenico Tedesco, the name Troy Parrott came to the forefront. It was stated that Tedesco particularly wanted to see the young Irish striker in the team, believing that he would create a completely different profile in the forward area. The yellow-navy management is preparing to open the purse for the 23-year-old striker.
STORMING IN HOLLAND
Parrott, who plays for Alkmaar, is shining this season:
- Eredivisie: 9 matches – 7 goals, 1 assist
- European Cups: 8 matches – 7 goals, 1 assist
The young player, who has directly contributed to 14 goals in a total of 17 matches, is drawing attention with his rising form.
DECLARED A "HERO" IN THE NATIONAL TEAM
In the historic match where Ireland defeated Hungary 3-2 away in the European Championship Qualifiers Group F:
- All 3 goals were scored by Troy Parrott
- The goal in the 90+6th minute brought both victory and a playoff ticket to his country.
- After this performance, Parrott was declared a "hero" in Ireland.
