are interested in signing Luton Town’s Elijah Adebayo, with the striker keen on leaving the Hatters following their relegation from the Premier League.
Whilst the campaign ended in disappointment for Rob Edwards’ side, as they ultimately finished in the bottom
three, Luton emerged with credit following how they performed against the elite.
And, one player who stood out was Adebayo, with the 26-year-old scoring 10
goals in 27 appearances, and he was a constant threat to opponents due to his physicality and ability to hold up the ball.
That goalscoring record, combined with his all-round game, meant Adebayo was always going to attract attention, and
Turkish media outlet Takvim claimed that the ex-Walsall man could be on the move to Istanbul.
The chance to join the Turkish giants is sure to appeal, as they are set to play in Europe next season, with Mourinho’s side hoping to clinch a place in the
Champions League, although they will have to navigate their way through the qualifying rounds to do that.
Given his displays in the Premier League, it was always going to be tough to keep Adebayo, as outlined above.
So, the Hatters will have to be open to the possibility that he could move on, but the suggested fee of €8-10m does feel a bit on the low side.
This is a player who is entering his peak years, and he has just hit double figures for goals in what is regarded as the best league in the world.

Plus, whilst Luton didn’t disclose the length of Adebayo’s contract, the fact he signed an extension in 2023 suggests they
aren’t going to be in a position where they have to cash in on him before his value starts to drop.
