Leeds United are close to completing the signing of Kerem Akturkoglu, and he will leave the club soon.
According to Aksam, Galatasaray winger Kerem Akturkoglu is on the verge of departing, with Leeds United ready to act in a potential £12.9 million transfer.
According to a Turkish news outlet, Akturkoglu is planning to enter the Championship and is now ready to say goodbye to his current team.
It is also alleged that Lazio in Italy were interested in signing him, but Leeds appear to have beaten them to the punch for the teenager who aspires to play in Europe.
A fantastic offer
If Leeds can win this one, their chances of gaining promotion to the Premier League will improve dramatically. It will be amazing to witness a guy who has scored three Champions League goals this season being deployed in the Championship.
In the Turkish Super Lig, Akturkoglu has five goals and five assists in 17 games, with Galatasaray behind only on goal difference with a record of 14 victories, two ties, and one defeat.
The Turkish international’s goal at Old Trafford earlier this season, which helped to their bitter rivals’ elimination from the Champions League at the early possible stage, might also thrill Leeds fans.
Leeds appear to have won a brilliant bargain for a player with Champions League experience for only £12.9 million, with the transfer already thought to be near to conclusion with Akturkoglu ready to wave farewell to Galatasaray.
It will be intriguing to watch how he adapts to English football, particularly the Championship, but he clearly has the talent.
