Galatasaray, who suspended the Jhon Duran transfer, has turned its attention to Irish striker Evan Ferguson, whose registration is held by Brighton, upon the recommendation of agents. The yellow-reds have requested the young striker's medical reports.
Galatasaray continues its efforts to strengthen the forward line ahead of the new season. While the yellow-reds have been interested in Jhon Duran for a long time, a surprising name has emerged.
JHON DURAN PUT ON HOLD
Starting pre-season preparations, Galatasaray is close to completing its first transfer with Lesley Ugochukwu. The yellow-red management, wanting to add a new name to the forward line, has put the Jhon Duran transfer on hold and started searching for alternatives.
SURPRISE CANDIDATE: EVAN FERGUSON
The surprise name proposed to Galatasaray through agents is Evan Ferguson. The 21-year-old Irish striker, who plays for Brighton and was loaned to Roma last season, stands out as a young talent whose registration belongs to Brighton.
MEDICAL REPORTS REQUESTED
Roma did not use the player's 40 million Euro purchase option, and Ferguson returned to Brighton. For Ferguson, who was sidelined for approximately 4.5 months last season due to an ankle injury, Galatasaray has requested medical reports. If no negative situation arises, the transfer is expected to proceed.
CAREER SUMMARY
Ferguson started football at St. Kevin's Boys in Ireland, later played for Bohemians, and then transferred to Brighton. The young striker, who also played on loan at West Ham and Roma, has recorded 41 goals and 11 assists in 158 matches in his career.
