Report: Ogbonna on wanted list

Turkish Super League outfit  Fenerbahce are reportedly interested in West Ham centre-back Angelo Ogbonna.

Whilst we tend to treat reports from the country with a large helping of salt given their poor record in this area there may be something in this one as  the Turks head into the final weeks of its transfer window.

The club’s sporting director Damien Comolli is reported keen on sealing a deal for Ogbonna – who was largely responsible for the Brighton’s equaliser on Saturday – and was possibly the worst performer on the field.

The report claims Fenerbahce are looking at a potential loan-to-buy deal for Ogbonna following the departure of Martin Skrtel this summer.

However, despite the Hammers signing of 19 year old Goncola Cordosa, with Winston Reid injured, a deal at this stage seems highly unlikely particularly on a loan basis.

Beyond Issa Diop and Fabian Balbuena, the Italian is the only experienced back up in the position right now.
