Trabzonspor are eyeing up a move for Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe as they look to strengthen their defence this summer.

That’s according to Fanatik and Sabah, who say the centre-back is one of several options that the Turkish side are looking at.

Fanatik report that Trabzonspor have ‘stepped on the gas’ in their search for a new centre-back and turned their attention to names on the ‘foreign market’.

New names are being added to the list, and they plan to solve the issue, that is, sign a new player within 3-4 days.

Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Marlon is the main target, but if negotiations for him do not progress, then they will look at other options.

Manchester United’s Tuanzebe is a name that ‘came up’, with him available after returning from an unsuccessful loan spell at Napoli and seemingly not a part of Erik ten Hag’s plans.

Sabah back this up, stating that the Manchester United defender is a name that has been ‘suggested’ to the Turkish club.

It remains to be seen, then, if Trabzonspor do actually make a move, with Tuanzebe just an option at this moment in time as they assess ways to strengthen their defence.
