Attention, Sporting! Turkish midfielder on trial at the Academy | OneFootball

Mehmet Öz is being assessed by Sporting’s under-19 team. The 18-year-old Turkish midfielder has been called in for a trial by Pedro Guerreiro, the new coach of the Lions’ junior side, with whom he worked last season at Alanyaspor.

The youngster is already on Galatasaray’s radar and is regarded as a player with room to develop. Pedro Guerreiro knows his qualities well and decided to give him the opportunity to prove himself during the training sessions held at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy.

Last season, Mehmet Öz was called up for several matches with Alanyaspor’s first team by João Pereira. However, the midfielder ultimately did not play any official minutes for the Turkish club’s senior side.

Pedro Guerreiro was then part of the coaching staff of the former Sporting coach and closely followed the player’s development. Now in charge of the green-and-whites’ under-19 side, he has arranged for the youngster to be assessed in Alcochete.

Sporting’s officials will analyse Mehmet Öz’s performances over the coming days. A decision on a possible signing is expected to be made after the observation period by the Alvalade club is completed.
