Fenerbahce have made a shrewd move in the market. The Ottoman side, who want to return to prominence in their own country and in European football, have signed En-Nesyri for 19.5 million euros, the most expensive signing in the history of the Turkish Super League.
The Moroccan international was an express request from new boss Jose Mourinho. The Portuguese, announced by his new club on the day of the Champions League final, wanted the striker to have another variant to dominate the aerial game - he is 1.90 metres tall - and to provide more goals.
Currently, ‘The Special One’ have a striker of the stature of Edin Dzeko in their ranks, who is only 3 centimetres taller than the former Sevilla player. In fact, the Bosnian, who scored 25 goals last season, recently starred in the first leg of the second round of the Champions League Preliminary Round.
The Fenerbahçe striker scored a stellar hat trick in the win over Lugano and will now have to compete with a man who is a real talent, a specialist when it comes to headers inside the box: 32 headers so far at professional level (counting clubs and national team).
If we take a look at his figures at Sevilla, the club where he won 2 Europa League titles, En-Nesyri scored 73 goals and 5 assists in 196 games. Last season, he scored 20 goals, 9 of which were headers, in 41 matches.
In addition to his aerial ability, the Moroccan, according to the coaches he has had, is an ideal striker to press high up the opposition.
