New Galatasaray manager targets Lokomotiv Moscow star

Galatasaray’s new manager Hamza Hamzaoglu has targeted Lokomotiv Moscow’s striker Oumar Niasse.

Niasse worked with Hamzaoglu while at Akhisar Belediyespor.

The Senegal international has had trouble finding a regular first team spot in the team and is said to be looking for a move away from the club.

According the the Turkish newspaper AMK, Galatasaray are preparing a loan bid for Niasse in January.

The 24-year-old strike moved to Russia from Akhisar at the start of this season for €6.5 million.

Niasse has made two assists and scored four goals in 11 games for Lokomotiv Moscow this season.
