 Besiktas signs Emrehan Kaplan for 4+1 years

 Besiktas has signed Somaspor player Emrehan Kaplan who also has become 1st transfer during this summer transfer window for the team as it did get player who has very high potential and capacity.

In fact, club has shown such strong trust towards player 20-year old player for signing him for 4+1 year. It needs to be mentioned that Kaplan career storyline has without doubt romantic view which been missing in commercialised football, as he did come into football while working in the metal fabric and has in fact become professional player at Somaspor known to be industrial city. He also did show very high performance at 3rd league tier becoming one of the best player down there in previous season. With taking all this account, Emrehan Kaplan could be providing very top performance with lots of place to improve so it does look to be good transfer for Besiktas.

Emrehan Kaplan might need some experience due of lack of playing in top league so he might still have need some patience from club and supporters in start of the season.

Montasseri Lahtemi didnt attend Trabzonspor training session.

Trabzonspor player Montasseri Lahmeni didnt attend once again to training session despite of not providing any permission letters from team and hence could be recieving some fine and actions from club in upcoming days.

Showing such action from any player would lead to some circumstances and also for this happening during summer transfer window and right in the start of pre-season trainings does raise some question from player willingness to be working on this team for next season. It would be interesting to see what kind of action would club take which could be either be fine or taking him out of squad. Stating that, there would be defence and explanation given from Lahtemi and maybe he does have some good reasoning.

Therefore action from club would become even more clearer after Lahtemi would reappear as action should be taken accordingly.

Pendikspor made deal with Nuno Sequira

Braga has announced that Super League newly promoted side Pendikspor has signed its player Nuno Sequira as Turkish side is starting building competitive side for top league.

With Pendikspor being promoted to top league and aiming to have successful season at its debut season, it would be needed to sign some good players with its financial possibilities and one of the first signings for them has been Braga player Nuno Sequira. Being among top half sides at Portugal league, Se quira would be an important addition to achieve their aim with his experience in such level and could become one of the key players while player would without doubt gets its new challenge.

Without doubt, this signing has been an important one for upcoming season but it would need to get more players to have good season.
