The battle for the signature of Udinese midfield orchestrator Arthur Atta is heating up like a Lagos noon, with Turkish giants Galatasaray now muscling into a transfer tussle that already features Premier League contenders Everton and Fulham. GoalZaza can exclusively reveal that the 21 year old French born talent has become the apple of many eyes across Europe following a string of commanding displays in Serie A. Atta, whose composure on the ball and eye for a killer pass have drawn comparisons to some of the finest deep lying playmakers, is said to be valued at around. ��4.8 billion by the powers that be at Udinese. The Italian club, known for driving a hard bargain, are demanding no less than. ��30 million for their prized asset. Galatasaray, fresh off another title charge, are looking to bolster their engine room with a player who can give a good account of himself in the heat of Champions League combat. Everton and Fulham had earlier thrown their hats into the ring, with the London club believed to have made the lion's share of the early running. However, the allure of regular European football at the Turk Telekom Stadium has seen the Istanbul outfit leap to the front of the queue. At the end of the day, Atta. �s decision will likely hinge on which club offers the clearest pathway to first team action and the most convincing project. For Nigerian football enthusiasts, the name Arthur Atta may not yet ring bells like that of Super Eagles talisman Victor Osimhen, but the midfielder. �s steady rise is being monitored closely. His style of play, reminiscent of a younger Wilfred Ndidi with added creative flair, fits perfectly into the current demand for box to box energy. Should Galatasaray win the race, Atta would join a growing list of African stars who have found a home in the vibrant Turkish league. Meanwhile, viewing centres in Surulere and Abuja Gardens are already buzzing with debate. As the news filters through from GoalZaza, fans clad in green and white jerseys can be heard arguing passionately over whether Atta should choose the EPL. �s bright lights or the passionate cauldron of Turkish football. One elder fan in a Lagos viewing centre was heard to say,. �If he goes to Galatasaray, he will learn to play with fire in his belly. The Premier League can wait.. � Another retorted,. �Fulham is the right place. He needs to test himself against the best week in, week out.. � The debate, like the transfer saga itself, will surely run until the very last whistle.
