Another Cypriot makes the football grade in Turkey
Turkish Cypriot youngster, Erhun Oztumer, 16, has joined Kazım Richards and a long line of others in applying his football skills in Turkey after being offered a contract with Turkish Super League outfit Manisaspor.
The signing of a contract has been delayed while he gets the go-ahead from the authorities to say that he can stay in the country. The delay has meant that he missed the games against Galatasaray and Genclerbirligi.
The technical, stockily built player may make the youth team game against Trabzonspor however as the management team at Maniaspor are keen to utilise his talents.
Erhun had been part of the youth set up at Charlton Athletic for nine years before joining Fisher Athletic recently.
London-based scout Necdet Aydin, who was instrumental in the move, said: “My ideas about what this kid can achieve are big, maybe too big, but I think he is going to be one of Turkish Football’s brightest stars.
“He’s a creative midfield player, who has a distinct skill to assist in goals, and he can score them too.”
