Two Turkish clubs battle for Kassoum Ouattara

The transfer market is heating up in Turkey over Kassoum Ouattara. The young left-back from AS Monaco is under close watch by both Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş, as both clubs look to bolster their defensive lines.

Born in Paris, France to Ivorian parents, the 21-year-old has quickly established himself as one of the most promising talents in Ligue 1. His performances with Monaco have caught the eye of several European clubs. Fenerbahçe, driven by its management, is said to have taken a slight lead in this race. The club is reportedly working on a loan deal with an obligation to buy in order to persuade Monaco to part with their player.

Beşiktaş remains very much in the race and hasn't given up on signing the young defender, even though the competition is fierce. With 24 matches played and 4 assists last season, Ouattara is proving his potential and has become one of the most closely watched profiles of this summer transfer window.
