Burak Yilmaz? http://www.turkish-football.com/news_read.php?id=3177 He's been linked again, well he's been linked with a lot of clubs primarily because he's had two great seasons 19 goals + 35 goals and only comes at £4 million. With Liverpool needing a finisher, this could be a good addition and a value one
Never heard of him to be honest but his goal record in the Turkish league is good and he would come fairly cheap.
If that goal record is true then this could be our Newcastlesque unknown quality signing. For £4m you can't go wrong.
Here's the story from a different angle. http://www.sondakika.com/haber/haber-burak-yilmaz-yine-istanbul-un-yolunu-tuttu-3778282/
going to assume his agent is stirring things up to force his clubs hand.... nothing to see here until a bid is made.
I've watched him over the last few seasons so can assure you his goal record is great. Yilmaz was tipped for greatness as a youth, had a slow start, stalled in his first few seasons, then improved 10 fold when he joined Trabzonspor under manager Senol Gunes (He got Turkey the 3rd placed finish in World Cup 2012) and playing under Guus Hiddink in the Turkish national team. To sum up, he's 1.88, powerful, fast, good shoulder strength, likes to make forward runs/behind the last man. Ideal for the Premiership. He scored 19 goals season before last, 35 goals last season, he's scoring despite pretty poor delivery from his midfielders, with better passers/delivery from midfield he would offer more. Obviously there's risks in any player, he may not settle in, he may have other problems etc but at £4m he's a bargain, if it wasn't for his release clause they would want 10-15 for this guy.
Hes signing for Galatasaray mate. http://live.sporx.com/futbol/transfer/turkiye/burak-galatasarayla-anlasti-iddiasiSXHBQ287075SXQ
It's a rumour, he hasn't signed anywhere yet. Also he has a £4m release clause, anything putting up his clubs asking price can enter talks so he's open to anyone interested, until he is in a Galatasaray shirt anyone can make a move
we were linked with him aswell about 3 weeks ago..seems like he has an impressive record and shows a good touch and eye for goal.....the only thing that made me feel good about us not following it up is that for all his goal scoring feats...not many teams are talking about him and well i dont think the standard of football in the Turkish league is all that and nor is thier standard of coaching..i think he would have a rude awakening in the PL...but he does look like he can play the game...i would not want to pay more than 6 -8 mill for him.
