Checks outI also, from a French fan I trust heard him described as the Turkish Ben Davies, which also seems fairly accurate.

Makes me laugh the idea of football fans around the continent comparing their full backs to Ben Davies
Your friend is a fucking moronMy barcelona supporting friend like ben davies over alba because davies is defensively better according to him
YES!!!!!!!
Hopefully he’s better than the last Zeki we signed ...
He was very highly rated at the time by United and iirc Fergie was really p*ssed that he left.Just realize he is playing league two football now. We played him as a CB against Benfica at the knockout stage of Europa ..... (Yes I know we did not have any CB at that moment, his CB partner was Sandro)

Interesting (read: surprising) that we're being linked with Maitland-Niles today. Presumably as a wing-back rather than a wide midfielder?

£30mil? Don't think so!

Zeki Celik 2019/20 - scout report
Tactical analysis and tactics of Zeki Celik. Read our tactical analysis and tactics of Zeki Celik. This is a scout report of Zek Celik.ligue1analysis.com
This may allay some fears
That report outlines how well he performs in a pressing team. We are also signing holbjerg who has also performed well, again, in a pressing team. Yet we aren’t expected to operate like that under Mourinho.
I find that a bit weird we are targeting players who’ve played in teams who operate a different style.
Mourinho does like to press teams...if he has the players. He explained it himself on his Inter team....our current squad incidentally is evolving like that squad. Getting in Lucio, he played his backline 20m further forward in 2009/10. He had a very attack minded RB in Maicon and defensive left back in Zanetti. Cambiasso was the sitting MF who reads situation and passes long after recovery. I am not saying Hojbjerg is Cambiosso like but role he will play should be similar.
Question on whether he will press or not will be answered by if he gets Skriniar. If he gets him, I cant see us playing up field. Our faster CBs are Sanchez & Tanganga. So it will also be fascinating how these 2 will be used.
