Southampton Defender Linked With Loan Move To Turkey
He has not yet completed 12 months at St Mary's, but if media reports in Turkey are to be believed, Saints brazilian central defender Lyanco could be spending next season away from the club.
Turkish media outlet Yeni Asir have reported that Lyanco could be set to make a loan switch from Southampton to TFF First League side, Goztepe, claiming the transfer could be completed in the next week.
Goztepe might sound a familiar name to Saints supporters, the reason being it has recently been linked to Rasmus Ankersen and Sport Republic who have been said to be in talks to buy the club as well as French team Valenciennes.
Lyanco had a mixed season at St Mary's, but in the main he let no one down and had some decent performances, he was certainly not the worst to play in the centre of defence for the club.
Yeni Asir also go on to claim that he won't be the only player to join Goztepe, Mateusz Lis is also "very closeā€¯ to joining the Turkish club if they are to be believed.
