Burak Yilmaz
Age – 28
Club – Galatasaray
12/13 League Apps – 30
12/13 League Goals – 24
Burak Yilmaz has been a goal scoring revelation in Turkish football in recent seasons, scoring 80 goals in his last 3 seasons with Trabzonspor and Galatasaray, as well as 8 more for the Turkish national team. Yilmaz impressed in Europe last season also scoring 8 goals in 9 games. Quick and a deadly finisher, Yilmaz has rightly so attracted a lot of interest from big European teams.
Liverpool have been rumoured to be interested in the ever improving Turk. At 28 years of age, the time could be right for Yilmaz to make his move away, but after no experience in any of the big European Leagues, it would be a big risk to take, and a risk that I’m not sure Wenger would be contemplating.
