The Turkish under-21 international has scored 9 goals in 16 appearances in the top flight this season and both Galatasaray and Red Bull Salzburg tried to strike a deal to sign him in December.

He has six months remaining on contract, and he is not intending to sign a new deal with his club and Bursaspor are willing to listen to offers now rather than risk losing him for minimum compensation in the summer.

They are looking for around £3million but could be forced to accept less due to financial implications of Covid-19.

He once scored a goal from the halfway line, and he is known as a very pacey and skilful forward.

We will see if anything transpires here.
