Kasimpasa vice president Hasan Hilmi Oksuz has spoken to Sporx about the future of reported Watford target Mahmoud Hassan.

Earlier this week it was reported in the Turkish media Watford have tabled an offer for the Egypt international.

Sporx quote Oksuz as saying: “We are prepared to wait until after the World Cup with Trezeguet. He’s under contract with our club so we are relaxed about the situation.

“If he enjoys a good World Cup and suitable bid arrives for both parties, then we can talk. But that’s not the case at the moment.”

Commonly known as Trezeguet, the 23 year old has impressed in the Turkish Super Lig this season for Kasimpasa and subsequently they activated his €2.5m redemption clause to sign him outright from Anderlecht.

However, with Oksuz’s comments it seems Watford will have to wait until after the World Cup to try and get a deal done for the attacker.

Trezeguet played 33 games for Kasimpasa last season, scoring 16 goals.
