Two Swedish clubs enter the race for Potur

Aksel Baran Potur, whom Trabzonspor previously showed interest in, is back in the news as the mid-season transfer window approaches. Two clubs from Sweden have reportedly become involved in the 23-year-old midfielder, who plays for Norwegian side HamKam.

According to the Swedish newspaper Expressen, IK Sirius and Mjällby AIF are interested in the Turkish-origin player. Mjällby, who won the Swedish championship last season, are said to be intensifying their efforts to add Potur to their squad for next season. The report also stated that Viking FK made an offer of around 2.2 million euros for the player in the summer transfer window, but HamKam rejected it.

Potur, who is reported not to want to extend his current contract, is being considered for a sale in the winter window. This season, the player has made 23 appearances in the Norwegian 1st Division (Eliteserien), recording 4 goals and 5 assists. Potur's uncertain future, which follows his earlier link to Trabzonspor, has raised the possibility that Trabzonspor could reconsider the player.
