The Turkish giants have announced the signing of Marco Asensio from PSG.
Reportedly, the two clubs reached an agreement over an €8.5m transfer fee.
Magpies opt to scrap deal
Newcastle have decided to hold onto William Osula as cover.
They have rebuffed the deal as talks were ongoing with Eintracht Frankfurt.
He will need to knuckle-down to fight a fiirst-team place now with the likes of Murphy, Gordon, Elanga and potentially Wissa.
EddieHowe obviously was worried about leaving his squad a bit light of cover in the attacking third of the pitch.
View from SunSport’s Gary Stonehouse
Still no confirmation from Newcastle regarding Yoane Wissa.
SunSport understands that the Magpies have lodged a deal sheet with the Premier League in order to allow them extra time to push through the £55m move.
Forest deal collapses at final hurdle
Nott’m Forest had been working on a deal for Aletico Madrid star Javi Galan.
In fact, everything was agreed with both clubs and the player but Fabrizio Romano then reported:
Galan transfer unlikely as the vital documents that are required to seal his move from La Liga heavyweights Atletico Madrid will not be ready in time before the cut-off point.
Palace add youngster to ranks

Palace tracked the highly rated right-footed defender closely and beat competition from several sides in England and abroad, including Aston Villa, for his signature.
Canvot, who has played a handful of games in midfield, is a confident ball-playing centre-back and has experience playing in a back three.
