Six clubs are interested in him when the transfer window reopens, according to Team Talk. Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, West Ham United, Everton, and Brighton are all said to be interested in signing the midfielder.
Given his youth, the player still has some untapped potential. He’s off to a fast start in 2023/24, with five goals and seven assists in 16 games across all competitions.
Akturkoglu is wanted by the Forest.
It’s safe to say that Forest could use another winger. In the summer, Anthony Elanga and Callum Hudson-Odoi were added to the squad, but more quality will be sought.
This follows the departure of Brennan Johnson to Tottenham. The club likely believe Hudson-Odoi can replace the kid in the short term, although Elanga may be considered as a work in progress.
Akturkoglu appears to be destined to play in a major European league at some point. His record of 34 goals and 37 assists in 135 games isn’t awful, so it’s no wonder that clubs are interested.
Akturkoglu may make a name for himself in England.
The winger is a Turkey international who fits the profile of the type of player Forest is looking for these days. He’s young, has a lot of promise, and would almost certainly have something to prove.
Fans and the media in Turkey have dubbed him a “wizard.” This is due to his ability to effortlessly glide past opposing defenders, and he is a player that gets fans out their seats.
Under Steve Cooper, the player has the potential to be a star. With stronger teams vying for his signature, the club may have to pull out all the stops to complete the deal.
