Nigeria midfielder Anthony Dennis could be on the move in the next transfer window, with reports from Turkey linking the young midfielder to a possible switch to Galatasaray.
According to Turkish journalist Kutlu Akpinar, the Göztepe midfielder has emerged as a transfer target for the Turkish giants, a move that could see him join Super Eagles compatriot Victor Osimhen at Galatasaray.
Dennis, 21, has been one of Göztepe’s standout performers this season, scoring three goals in 15 league appearances. His consistent displays in midfield have drawn attention, with Galatasaray reportedly monitoring his development closely ahead of the upcoming transfer window.
The Nigerian midfielder remains under contract with Göztepe until June 30, 2027, meaning any potential move would require a formal negotiation between both clubs.
Last season, Dennis featured prominently for Göztepe, registering two assists in 32 league matches, further underlining his growing influence in Turkish football.
A transfer to Galatasaray would represent a significant step up in his career, offering the opportunity to compete for domestic honours and European football, while strengthening the Nigerian presence at one of Turkey’s biggest clubs.
