To strengthen its attack, FC Nantes went for a brilliant Turkish winger by the name of Yunus Akgun.
FC Nantes saved its place among the elite in extremis during the past financial year. A misadventure that the Canaries are determined not to relive. For this, and despite limited means, they plan to strengthen themselves well. And among their first acquisitions is a young Turkish winger, in this case Yunus Akgun.
Yunus Akgun, a great Turkish hope
According to Foot Mercato, this Turkish international (5 caps and 1 goal) has given his approval to join the FCN. The Loire Atlantique club is still negotiating with its Galatasaray formation for a loan with an option to buy.
Yunus Akgun therefore belongs to the Turkish champion club. He played a leading role in winning the title in 2023. Previously, it was at Adana Demirspor that he stood out for two seasons. He played 70 matches and scored 11 goals.
The lining of Cengiz Under in selection
Akgun is a pure left-hander and whose style could resemble that of Marseille Cengiz Under, of which he is also the understudy in selection. He is a hard-hitting player who is able to make the difference on the ball.
A precocious talent, he made his debut in the Gala’s first team at the age of 18. He also has the distinction of being the youngest player from the Istanbul team to appear in the Champions League (in 2018/2019) after Emre Belozoglu.
