Trabzonspor has taken action to strengthen its forward line ahead of the mid-season transfer period. It has been claimed that the burgundy-blues want to add Palestinian striker Wessam Abou Ali, who plays for MLS team Columbus, to their squad.
SEARCH FOR A STRIKER ACCELERATES
Trabzonspor, aiming to enter the title race strongly in the second half of the season, has implemented a new plan for the forward position. It has been noted that the burgundy-blue management has turned to a striker transfer due to the lack of expected performance from Danylo Sikan, who was considered an alternative to Paul Onuachu.
ENGLISH MEDIA REPORTED
According to a report by Daily Record Sport, Trabzonspor wants to loan Wessam Abou Ali, who plays for Columbus. It was reported that the 26-year-old Palestinian footballer is also open to transferring to Trabzonspor, and discussions between the parties are ongoing.
38 GOALS IN 60 MATCHES
Wessam Abou Ali, who stands at 1.87 meters tall, has a contract with his club Columbus until 2027. The player's market value is stated to be 6 million euros, and it has also been noted that he holds a Danish passport.
Abou Ali produced 3 goals and 1 assist in 5 matches in the MLS during the 2025 season. The most notable performance of the Palestinian striker came during his time at Al Ahly. After contributing 38 goals and 10 assists in 60 matches for the Egyptian team, Abou Ali transferred to Columbus for a fee of 6.4 million euros in July 2025.
STRONG ALTERNATIVE TO ONUACHU
Wessam Abou Ali, who stands out with his physical structure and effectiveness in the penalty area, is seen as capable of backing up Paul Onuachu at Trabzonspor.
