Turkish Super League giants Galatasaray are reportedly keen on signing Crystal Palace defender Patrick Van Aanholt on a free transfer this summer. The Daily Mail claimed that the club has already offered the Palace left-back a contract in the bid to snap him up ahead of other interested clubs like Arsenal.

The Gunners have been interested in the Dutch player since the exit of SeadKolasinac at the start of the January transfer window.

Leeds United defender Ezgjan Alioski is reportedly closing in on a move to Turkish Super League giants Galatasaray. This is according to the report from the stables of Turkish media outfit Milliyet.

It was revealed that the Leeds United player has turned down the offer of a new contract at the club and that the North Macedonia international is set to sign for Galatasaray. English journalist Graham Smyth didn’t corroborate the report from Milliyet as he said that Alioski is not on his way out of Leeds United in the summer as far as he knows.

Stoke City boss Michael O’Neill has confirmed that Oghenekaro Etebo will not be coming back to the English outfit when the January transfer window opens. After struggling for form during his time with the Potters, the 25-year-old was loaned out to Galatasaray until the end of the season.

The Nigeria international was signed from Portuguese outfit Feirense back in 2018 for around £ 6.5 million. He has struggled to make any impact at the English outfit and he has been sent out on loan to Spanish outfit Getafe already. Now, he made the switch to Galatasaray in September with the loan deal agreed until the end of the season.

Stoke City manager Michael O'Neill has revealed that Super Eagles of Nigeria midfielder OghenekaroEtebo will complete his loan deal at Turkish giants Galatasarayas he revealed that the player won't cut short his loan to return to the Potters prematurely.

Galatasaray are always expected to challenge for the Turkish Super League title every season and the current league campaign is no exception.

The Turkish giants have won two of the last three league titles and they are the second most successful team in this regard with 23 titles. Archrivals Fenerbahce are the most successful team in the history of Turkish league football (28 titles).

Turkish giants Galatasaray have extended their unbeaten run to six games in the league on the back of their convincing win over Hatayspor. Galatasaray beat their opponents 3-0 at home at the weekend to make it two consecutive victories in the Turkish Super League. Galatasaray have not tasted defeat in the league since the 2-1 loss at home to league leaders Alanyasportwo months ago.

Senegalese player Maye Diane continued his good form in front of goal with the first goal of the game with Transport in Istanbul on Saturday. His goal came on 32 minutes off an assist from Algerian international SofianeFeghouli and it was enough to give Galatasaray an half-time lead at the Turk Telecom Stadium. Diagne has now scored five goals in his last three games which is in stark contrast to last season when he scored just four goals in the league.

Galatasaray extended their wonderful form with a 3-0 victory over Hatayspor during the weekend. This was the fourth win in the last five matches for Fatih Terim’s men. The result managed to stretch the unbeaten run for the Turkish club to a very impressive six matches in all competitions. As a result, Galatasaray have been able to make decent progress in terms of climbing up the league table.

The club are now level on points with Alanyaspor, who have played a game less. Even though there continues to be a strong threat from Fenerbahce and Besiktas who are not far behind, Galatasaray are becoming increasingly confident about a positive campaign.

Galatasaray have not been left out of the new wave of testing positive to Covid-19 in the footballing world. The Turkish Super League giants have fallen victim to the virus after three players returned a positive test for the virus to take the number of Covid-19 cases in the team to five.

Arda Turan and Ryan Babel have both tested positive, while the identity of the other three victims has not been disclosed. Dutch international Ryan Babel missed the UEFA Nations League win over hosts Poland on Wednesday night as a result of the virus as he has gone into isolation.

Galatasaray manager Fatih Terim has claimed that the key focus for the team would now be the Turkish Süper Lig following the disappointing exit from the European stage. A 2-1 loss against Glasgow has seen Galatasaray exit the Europa League in the final play-off stages. After having overcome the likes of Hajduk Split in the previous rounds, Galatasaray undoubtedly had a difficult challenge in the form of Scottish outfit Rangers, who were marshalled by former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard.

From the start of the game, Galatasaray were on the back foot and they were 2-0 down by the hour mark following goals from Scott Arfield and James Tavernier.
