Newcastle United has purportedly been afforded the opportunity to acquire one of Turkey’s most promising young talents, Semih Kilicsoy.

 

 

The forward, presently affiliated with Besiktas, possesses the versatility to operate across the entire attacking line, a quality that would undoubtedly capture the attention of Eddie Howe and sporting director Paul Mitchell. Furthermore, his market valuation has experienced a considerable decline.

 

 

 

CaughtOffside has exclusively disclosed that Kilicsoy may be obtainable for a fee of £21 million. The 19-year-old has attracted the attention of multiple Premier League clubs, including Aston Villa, Everton, Nottingham Forest, and Fulham. At that time, we reported that both Tottenham and Brighton were among the clubs expressing interest in Kilicsoy.

 

 

Manchester United’s acquisition during the January transfer window is currently in progress. However, a report from the Chronicle indicates that his representatives are currently pursuing a transfer fee of £16 million, which constitutes a significant reduction from their initial asking price.

 

 

The adolescent made his senior debut for Besiktas in February 2023 and has since accumulated a total of 67 appearances across all competitions, during which he has contributed 14 goals and nine assists.

 

 

 

 

This year, Kilicsoy has participated in 28 matches across four different competitions, achieving a total of eight goal contributions. He is presently receiving coaching from Manchester United legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who has recently taken over the managerial position at Besiktas, succeeding Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
