Spor Sayfa have reported on the latest developments regarding Yokuşlu’s future at the Hawthorns and they say the player wants a move back to Turkey. It’s claimed Trazbonspor are in transfer talks to sign the central midfielder and that West Brom will sanction the move.
Yokuşlu has been convinced regarding a transfer to the Trabzon club and are expected to beat his former club Besiktas in the race to sign him. The player joined West Brom from the Black Eagles, but won’t be going back there.
This could come as a blow to Hull City who have been linked with the Turkey international in recent weeks. The Championship side were confident of getting a deal done for Yokuşlu, but it seems they too will miss out on signing him.
Yokuşlu made 18 appearances for West Brom last season and there’s a good chance he could move on this summer. He’s contracted to the Baggies until June 2025 after arriving at the Hawthorns in 2022.
Carlton Palmer has urged Hull City to go all out and sign Okay Yokuslu to help them “kick on” this season after narrowly missing out on a place in the play-offs last season.
City have been quiet in the transfer market so far when it comes to incomings with Ryan Giles the only arrival since the campaign ended. There remains significant doubt about Giles’ long-term Tigers future with Middlesbrough keen to take him back to the Riverside Stadium
Yokuslu was one of the standout performers for West Brom last season as the Baggies pipped City to a top-six spot. He played 44 times in Carlos Corberan’s side and became one of the most highly-rated midfielders in the Championship.
