Under the guidance of coach Jose Mourinho, Fenerbahce is ramping up efforts to strengthen its squad as the January transfer window approaches, aiming to close the gap with league leaders Galatasaray in their pursuit of the Turkish Super League title.
Fenerbahce has reportedly added Tottenham Hotspur’s star forward Heung-min Son to its transfer targets.
Fenerbahce’s coach, Jose Mourinho, has previously praised Son during his tenure at Tottenham, describing him as one of the best players in the world. Mourinho once said:
"Son is one of the world's best players. He has the talent to win championships and play for the greatest clubs."
Mourinho’s admiration for Son could be a significant factor in influencing the transfer.
Former Fenerbahce defender Min-Jae Kim, who shares a South Korean connection with Son, is reported to be playing a role in the pursuit. Kim, now a notable player himself, may serve as a bridge to persuade Son to consider Fenerbahce as his next destination.
A potential move for Heung-min Son to Fenerbahce would mark one of the most high-profile transfers in Turkish football history. While securing his signature remains uncertain, Fenerbahce’s proactive approach highlights its determination to compete at the highest level.
With Son eligible to negotiate with clubs starting in January, Fenerbahce supporters are eagerly awaiting updates on this ambitious pursuit.
