Yunus Konak Transfer from Brentford to Lincoln City
Lincoln City have signed midfielder Yunus Konak on a season-long loan from Brentford. Yunus Konak has signed a 5-year contract with Brentford. Brentford Head Coach Keith Andrews said that he likes Yunus a lot and has seen his development closely, even from when he was a set-piece coach. Brentford Director of Football Phil Giles said that Yunus earned his new contract based on his performance over the last 12 months. Giles added that Konak had a very good loan at Oxford where he performed well, and that they are looking for him to build on that this season with Lincoln, who were very interested in him joining them for the season. According to Giles, by signing the contract before he completes the loan move, it demonstrates that Brentford views him as a player who can play regularly for them in the future. Jez George said that Yunus has been their primary target all summer in this position, having followed his impact at Oxford United in the Championship during the second half of last season. George also mentioned that Lincoln remained in contact throughout, knowing that Yunus would more likely become available towards the end of the window, and worked hard to sign him despite significant interest from more established Championship clubs and options abroad.

Championship newcomers Lincoln City have signed 20-year-old Turkish midfielder Yunus Konak from Brentford on a season-long loan. The move came immediately after Konak agreed to a new five-year contract with the Premier League side, which includes an option for an additional 12 months. The Turkey under-21 international, for whom he has 16 caps, joined the London club from Sivasspor in January 2024 and has since made 10 substitute appearances in the top flight. Lincoln's sporting director Jez George described him as the club's primary midfield target this summer. George stated that as a number six, Konak's out-of-possession attributes fit their game model perfectly and that they can help develop his on-the-ball qualities. The transfer was completed just three days after Lincoln started their first campaign in the second tier for 65 years. Konak, who has a current market value of €3.50m according to Transfermarkt, had also attracted interest from Trabzonspor and Wrexham.
