Everton make contact with Fenerbahçe midfielder

Lyndon Lloyd | Wednesday, 12 February 2020 14comments | Jump to last

Everton are supposedly interested in Turkish international midfielder Ozan Tufan.

Fanatik in Turkey are claiming that the Blues have opened a dialogue with his representatives.

The report suggests that Sunderland and Southampton are also tracking the 24-year-old who has a €20m release clause in his contract.

Tufan is not the only Turkey international being linked with Everton. Cengiz Ünder is regularly mentioned in connection with the Toffees these days but nothing has come of the speculation thus far.

Yeah, yeah... get back to me in four months when the transfer window is actually open.

Well, if he's any slower than our current Turkish international, they probably had to make contact with a ouija board.

Never heard of the dude, not saying he's no good but surely if he was the next best thing to Turkish Delight, we would have heard him either being touted or highlighted with the media Circus.

Like many have mentioned, the last venture into Turkish Football didn't turn out too well... not saying Tosun was useless but too slow to fit in with the Premier League.

Put a loan bid in, then another after the first one runs out, the Turkish clubs are fond of loan signings.

Derek, how can Tosun be slow... he pulled his hamstring! Don't you have to run to do that? ;)

He must be good. He's been loaned out to Alyanaspor who are a mid-table team.

Crazy transfer speculation already started, nice and early, so get ready for some whoppers.

Sounds like an agent has been given the job of touting him around and he is putting stories in the media to attract attention.

I'm with Bill (#1). Until we can actually do some business, this is just filling column inches. And before anyone says it, Column Inches is not the latest Scottish winger we've been linked with.

Good luck to the lad and his agent on getting an inflated contract. Doubt it it I’ll be with us.

Thankfully fat Sam isn't about to buy us another Turkish duffer at a vastly inflated price.

John@2, superb.

This guy was supposed to be the next big thing from Turkey quite a while back. Maybe after last Euros when he was very young. We and others were linked with him then. But he's not kicked on at all and even appears to have gone backwards. So this is probably more nonsense.

If we have made contact, is he entitled to go down, and will VAR become involved?
