Emre Uzun, a 20-year-old attacking midfielder, is reportedly on the verge of joining Beerschot. Previously, he played for Antalyaspor, where he made a brief appearance, clocking 82 minutes for the first team last year. Currently, Uzun is without a club. The transfer is being facilitated by Beerschot's Turkish ownership, which possesses strong connections in Turkey. Beerschot's chairman, Selahattin Baki, who has established a network of agents in Turkey, has played a crucial role in securing this transfer. Uzun is one of two young talents being recruited from Turkey, along with Thiago Lugano, as part of Beerschot's strategy to explore the Turkish market. Despite their potential, there are lingering questions about whether these acquisitions will immediately bolster the team, given that past Turkish signings have not been particularly successful.
