Aston Villa and Newcastle United are reportedly keen on signing Eyupspor goalkeeper Berke Ozer in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Turkish outlet Fanatik, Aston Villa and Newcastle United want to sign 24-year-old Eyupspor goalkeeper in the summer transfer window, and he will cost around €12 million.
Ozer has done quite well for the Turkish outfit, and he is certainly good enough for the Premier League as well. He could prove to be a quality addition for Aston Villa and Newcastle United.
It is fair to assume that if he joins the club, he will be a backup option for Aston Villa. Emiliano Martinez has been a world-class performer for the West Midlands outfit, and it is highly unlikely that the 24-year-old will start ahead of him.
As for Newcastle United, he is likely to compete with Nick Pope for the starting spot. The opportunity to move to the Premier League can be quite exciting, and the 24-year-old will be attracted to the idea of joining either of the two clubs.
Aston Villa and Newcastle United have ambitious projects, and they will be hoping to compete in the UEFA Champions League regularly in the coming seasons. They need to add more quality and depth to their side, and the 24-year-old goalkeeper could be a useful acquisition.
Berke Ozer will want to showcase his qualities in the Premier League
The Turk has shown his quality in his homeland, and he will want to test himself at a higher level now. The move to the Premier League will be difficult to turn down for him. He is likely to be attracted if the two English clubs come forward with a concrete proposal.
The highly-rated goalkeeper will be out of contract in June, and Eyupspor have an option to trigger a one-year extension. It is fair to assume that they will exercise the clause so that they can recoup some money for the Turkish youth international. It will be interesting to see where he ends up. Both clubs will be attractive destinations for him, and they could help him improve further in the coming seasons.
