Haberturk Spor journalist Haluk Ayyildiz is reporting that four clubs have offered in the region €30m (£27m) for Trabzonspor duo Yusuf Yazici and Abdulkadir Omur.

Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich and Monaco have all proposed similar deals for the Turkish starlets, and Haberturk say that Trabzonspor have not responded to the bids yet with the January transfer window still nearly two months away.

Omur is 18, and generally plays on the right wing, cutting in on to his left foot. At 5ft 6in tall, he is not the biggest player, but he is creative on the ball with one goal and two assists in nine Super Lig games this season.

Yazici meanwhile is slightly more experienced with the 20 year old having already been capped by Turkey three times. In his 42 matches for Trabzonspor since his debut in 2015, he has scored nine times and provided 15 assists, playing mostly in his favoured number ten role.
