Trabzonspor president Ertuğrul Doğan has told the Turkish media they are in talks to sign Ipswich Town defender Axel Tuanzebe and Southampton forward Paul Onuachu.
Both Tuanzebe and Onuachu have been linked with the Super Lig side following their club’s relegations to the Championship.
Takvim cover a press conference held today by Doğan, and he discussed Trabzonspor’s transfer targets for this summer.
Doğan revealed Tuanzebe is a player they are tracking and one who has been highlighted by the coaching staff. The Trabzonspor chief went on to say they are in negotiations to sign the former Manchester United player.
“Axel Tuanzebe is also a player that the scouting team and our coach like, we are talking,” said Doğan.
He then went on to confirm they are in talks to sign long term target Onuachu and that he’s hopeful of finally getting a deal done for the Southampton attacker.
“He’s on our agenda. We’re discussing with him. Hopefully we can complete this soon,” said the Trabzonspor president.
There have been reports in the Turkish media today that Trabzonspor are working on a deal for Tuanzebe and are looking to sign him on a free transfer next month when his contract expires.
Ipswich Town have the option to extend his current deal for another year, but with relegation to the English second tier they may not exercise this.
Onuachu looks close to signing for the Turkish club after claims he’s agreed personal terms to return.
