Fenerbahçe ‘to move for’ Sunderland winger Chemsdine Talbi in January | OneFootball

Fotomac reports that Fenerbahçe have placed Sunderland winger Chemsdine Talbi among their leading January targets, as İsmail Kartal looks to add pace, directness and technical quality on the flanks.

The 21-year-old has impressed European scouts with high-intensity, decisive performances in England. With Sunderland benefiting from his impact, Fenerbahçe’s hierarchy in Kadıköy have begun planning to test the club’s resolve once the window opens.

Primarily a right winger who can operate across the front line, Talbi fits Kartal’s press-resistant, high-tempo approach. His explosive acceleration, tight control and aggressive one v one threat offer a profile the squad currently lacks.

Any deal is expected to be difficult. Sunderland see Talbi as integral to their long-term project and will be reluctant to approve a mid-season exit without a compelling financial offer.

With Galatasaray and Beşiktaş building momentum at the top of the Süper Lig, Kartal has urged decisive action. Fenerbahçe are preparing an opening approach to move early in the window, aiming to give the coach the depth required for a demanding campaign at home and in Europe.
