Fenerbahçe, which entered the winter transfer period with the moves of Mattéo Guendouzi, Anthony Musaba and Mert Günok, turned the next step in its squad planning to the forward line. The yellow-dark blue team, who gained morale after defeating their arch-rival Galatasaray 2-0 in the Super Cup final, wants to enter the second half of the season with a higher score production. In this direction, a two-track study is being carried out for the offensive line: the main target and the alternative target. While the prominent names in this table were Ademola Lookman and Artem Dovbyk, it was claimed that the transfers of Alexander Sørloth and Christopher Nkunku remained in the background.

According to the news of journalist Sercan Hamzaoğlu, Fenerbahçe will accelerate its efforts to add Ukrainian striker Artem Dovbyk, who plays for Roma, to its squad if it does not get positive results from the transfer of Ademola Lookman. In previous news, it was stated that these two names were among the difficult options due to Sørloth’s high cost and Nkunku’s reluctance to transfer to Türkiye.

Artem Dovbyk, a left-footed center forward, was transferred to Rome from the Spanish team Girona for 30.5 million euros in 2024. The striker, who has a contract until 2029, contributed 20 goals and 6 assists in 62 matches with the capital representative. Dovbyk, who scored 11 goals in 40 matches with the Ukrainian National Team, is expected to return to the field towards the end of January due to his thigh injury.

Dovbyk, who has a market value of 20 million euros, plays in the center forward position, while Ademola Lookman can play on both wings and behind the striker. While Lookman stands out as the most suitable profile for Fenerbahçe’s game structure, Dovbyk transfer is also on the table as a strong alternative.

While it is known that Lookman’s transfer fee is over 40 million euros, Dovbyk is expected to be transferred for a more affordable fee. On the other hand, Nigeria will face Morocco in the African Cup of Nations on Wednesday. In addition to Ademola Lookman, the Nigeria squad includes familiar names such as Victor Osimhen, Paul onuachu and Wilfred Ndidi.
