The 20-year-old burst onto the scene back January and went onto score six goals and provide 10 assists in 22 games for Trabzonspor last season.

Yazici has established himself as a first-team regular this term in Ersun Yanal’s side.

Trabzonspor are however unlikely to sell their star man mid-way though the season. Especially during their 50th year anniversary.

“I want to see Yusuf here for our 50th year anniversary squad,” Trabzonspor president Muharram Usta stated.

“He will be sold when the time is right, Yusuf will be an ambassador for the club and reach the highest level.”

Trabzonspor were held to a 2-2 draw by Besiktas over the weekend. The Turkish Super Lig giants take on Akhisar in their next fixture.
