Turkish Giants Eyeing Manchester City Whizkid Felix Nmecha

Published: December 25, 2018

A report out of Turkey claims that Turkish Super Lig powerhouse Galatasaray are working on a deal to sign talented Nigerian midfielder Lukas Nmecha in the January transfer window.

Aksam.com.tr says Galatasaray chairman Mustafa Cengiz has been promised three players after holding talks in England with Manchester City hierarchy.

The remaining two players who could join the Istanbul club on loan are central defender Philippe Sandler and defensive midfielder Claudio Gomes.

Felix Nmecha currently plays for Manchester City's U23 team, so it makes sense to loan him out to further his career as he would find it difficult to break into the star-studded Citizens midfield.

The 18-year-old was an unused substitute in recent matches against Hoffenheim (Champions League) and Leicester City (League Cup).

Nmecha has made seven appearances in the Premier League 2 this season, starting four matches and scoring three goals.
