Babel Close To Galatasaray Switch

Ryan Babel is reportedly holding talks about a move to Turkish side Galatasaray when his spell at Fulham ends this summer.

The 32-year-old Netherlands intentional has scored an impressive five goals in 14 Premier League appearances since joining the Cottagers from Besiktas in January.

However, with Fulham’s relegation to the Championship confirmed early last month, it virtually ended the Londoners’ hopes of keeping Babel when he becomes a free agent at the end of the season.

There had been claims that the former Liverpool man wanted to stay put and play in England’s top flight, but fresh reports are suggesting that a return to Turkey is now very much on the cards with Besiktas’ rivals Galatasaray.
