Apparently looking at taking Okay Yokuslu on loan from Celta Vigo.
Hoping this one is true, because this is the type of player we are absolutely crying out for. A big strong defensive midfielder who can tackle, win the first ball, turn over possession and knows how to protect that back line. Someone with genuine defensive awareness that we are desperately short of in our midfield. He's also very tall, which will help us with defending set plays as none of our current set of midfielders can head the ball. Not bad on the ball either, which you would expect coming from a decent side in La Liga.
Going to be a tall order to keep us up, but the signs are there that Sam knows what we need. Our central midfield needs more experience, mobility and bite. If we were able to bring in both Yokuslu and Ozan Tufan - the other Turkish midfielder we were linked with last week from Fenerbache - that would completely transform our midfield. Between them they have 80 Turkish caps at 26 and 25 respectively.
