Transfer activity heats up at Trabzonspor: Doumbia, Doue, Richarlison

Trabzonspor's management and coaching staff have accelerated their work for the mid-season transfer window. The claret-and-blue club plans to strengthen its midfield, attack and defensive line.

The first target in midfield is 19-year-old Abdoulaye Doumbia, a star of Swedish league club Häcken. Director İbrahim Şahinkaya is expected to hold a meeting with Häcken officials this week. Another name on the radar is 20-year-old Eddy Doue. The player made 9 appearances for CF Estrela Amadora and contributed 3 assists. New movement is also expected around Doue during the transfer window.

In attack, Brazilian Richarlison is on the agenda. The transfer fee and loan figures requested for the player, who was sent to Tottenham's U23 team, have been cut by half. A new meeting request has since come from the player's agent. The management will reassess the terms discussed at the start of the season. Since the player cannot play competitive matches until the winter break, his match fitness will also be decisive in the decision.

Richarlison's contract with Tottenham expires at the end of the season. The Brazilian star wants to leave the club during the winter break.
