Eko Hot Blog reports that Fenerbahçe are looking to sign Elijah Adebayo from Luton Town, with the striker eager to depart the Hatters after their relegation from the Premier League.
Although Rob Edwards’ side ended the campaign with disappointment, finishing in the bottom three.
Luton earned praise for their performances against top-tier teams.
One standout player was Elijah Adebayo. The 26-year-old scored 10 goals in 27 appearances and consistently posed a threat to opponents with his physicality and ball-holding ability.
Adebayo’s impressive goalscoring record and overall game inevitably drew attention.
According to Turkish media outlet Takvim, the former Walsall striker might be heading to Istanbul.
They report that new manager José Mourinho is eager to sign the forward, with a transfer fee estimated to be around €8-10 million.
Notably, they also mention that Adebayo is keen to leave Kenilworth Road after the relegation, as he seeks to challenge himself at a higher level.
The opportunity to join the Turkish giants is undoubtedly appealing, as they are set to play in Europe next season.
Mourinho’s team is aiming for a spot in the Champions League, although they must first navigate through the qualifying rounds.
Given his performances in the Premier League, retaining Adebayo was always going to be challenging.
Therefore, the Hatters must consider the possibility of his departure, although the proposed fee of €8-10 million seems somewhat low.
Adebayo is entering his peak years and has just scored double figures in what is widely considered the best league in the world.
Additionally, Luton didn’t disclose the length of Adebayo’s contract.
However, contract extension he signed in 2023 indicates that they are not in a position where they must sell him before his value declines.
