Boro Agree Terms With Goal Ace
BORO have confirmed that Turkish goalscoring ace Tuncay Sanli will join the club from Fenerbahce subject to a medical next week.
The 25-year-old Turkey international, who is a free agent, is set to join Boro on a free transfer from Turkish champions Fenerbahce.
Boro chief executive Keith Lamb agreed personal terms with Tuncay yesterday after travelling out to Istanbul.
"Tuncay will travel to Teesside next week to take a medical," said Lamb. "He has agreed personal terms and the deal is a free transfer as the player is out of contract."
Turkey's first choice striker, Tuncay has scored 13 goals in 43 internationals, while hitting 59 goals in 154 league games for Fenerbahce over the past five seasons.
Although best known as a centre-forward, six-foot tall Tuncay has also played on both wings for club and country.
Strong, quick and with excellent dribbling skills, he is nicknamed Braveheart in his homeland because of his commitment to the cause.
He is currently Fenerbahce's all-time top scorer in Europe with 12 goals.
In December 2004 he became the first Turkish player ever to score a Champions League hat-trick as he scored all three goals in his side's 3-0 thrashing of Manchester United.
He also scored a hat-trick came in Turkey's World Cup qualifying play-off against Switzerland, although a 4-4 draw saw the Swiss go through on away goals.
