Emre 'deal done', say Fenerbahce
Fenerbahce claim to have agreed a deal with Newcastle to sign midfielder
Emre Belozoglu on a three-year contract.
Turkey captain Emre, 27, has failed to shine at St James' Park after
moving to there from Inter Milan in 2005 for ￡4m.
"Fenerbahce have reached an agreement with Newcastle United in order to
sign the Turkish superstar Emre Belozoglu," read a statement on the club's
website.
Newcastle are yet to comment but according to reports the transfer fee
involved could be about ￡8m.
Emre, a former Galatasaray and Inter Milan player, came to real prominence
after helping Turkey to a third-place finish at the 2002 World Cup in Japan
and South Korea.
He has made 58 appearances for the Magpies, scoring five goals, and is
under contract until 2011.
