Turkish giants Galatasaray are the latest candidate for the hot-in-demand Blackburn Rovers forward Yakubu Aiyegbeni.

Takvim.com.tr has disclosed that Galatasaray are looking for reinforcements in attack. Included in the list of possible summer acquisitions is Yakubu, who scored 17 goals for Blackburn Rovers last season.

Yakubu commands a transfer of fee of five million pounds, and wages of around two million euros a year.

This is not the first time the former Everton forward is being linked with a move to Galatasaray. In the winter market, he had also attracted interest from the 18-time champions of Turkey.

Galatasaray face competition for Yakubu's signature. Clubs in China, Reading, Southampton, West Ham and Eski�ehirspor are also in the race to sign the physical Nigerian forward.
