Bursaspor enter Bangura chase
Turks eye AIK striker as a replacement for Miller

Turkish outfit Bursaspor are hoping to beat a number of Premier League clubs to the signing of Teteh Bangura.

The Sierra Leone international currently plies his trade in the Swedish top flight with AIK Solna.

At just 21 years of age, and able to boast an impressive strike rate in Scandinavian football, the youngster is now reported to be drawing admiring glances from across Europe.

The likes of Liverpool, Newcastle, Chelsea and Tottenham are all believed to have taken a look at Bangura.

Bursaspor, though, are hoping they can pip the English quartet to the post.

They are bracing themselves for the seemingly imminent exit of Scottish striker Kenny Miller and are keen to bring in a suitable replacement as soon as possible.

Bangura could be that man, but for now his representative is remaining tight-lipped on the matter.

"You will have to ask Bursaspor about that, I can neither confirm nor deny," Patrick Mork told Fotbollskanalen.

Asked if there had been interest from the Turkish outfit, he added: "Yes, they have been to a lot of games.

"It's no closer than anything else though."

Pressed on whether AIK had received a formal approach for their highly-rated forward. Mork said: "I don't want to comment on that."

Bangura has claimed that he would welcome the opportunity to see out the current campaign in Sweden, as he is in the running for the golden boot.

According the ever reliable Wikipedia ( ) he has scored 15 goals in 15 games this season, granted the league is crap it is still a pretty impressive record. Would be worth a punt

Another player I can not see us signing to be honest.

Possibly one of the most vague links of the summer so far?

Has to be mate, but that aggregator software is good stuff for picking up vague links, I'll give it that.

The local press have reported that LFC scouts were watching AIK 5-6 times in recent months ... They've been speculating that we are after their central defender Alexander Milosevic, but it seems that Teteh Bangura is the real subject of our interest ...

Glad you cleared it up mate.

I'm not sure where I'd be without your superior knowledge

No need for sarcasm ... I am just relaying what I've read in the local Swedish press ...

Careful mate he'll post a picture of his plant he's ignoring.

I'm waiting for this thread to descend into Titty Banger style references, names to similar for it not to.

Teteh Bangura - acronym of "The beaut rang" ... just saying...

No need for sarcasm ... I am just relaying what I've read in the local Swedish press ...

Apologies if you detected some sarcasm mate. I really am.

Your knowledge of the Swedish press aside I still fail to see any real link in the article you posted to us and the player.

Much better to look at than that plant that's been knocking about on here tonight.

He's been here a lot longer than a night.



Any way, strong rumours Titty Banger's off to Brest.

I've posted the SkySports article since it is in English, according to the board's rules ... There are numerous Swedish articles reporting the same thing ... Most of them speculation, based on the frequent presence of our scouts at the AIK matches ...

Possibly better in the transfer rumours/gossip thread maybe, although with your knowledge of the forum rules at hand I again bow to your superior knowledge.

It really is the most tenuous of links. A mere mention of LFC alongside a host of other clubs said to have 'taken a look' at the player along with the trusty word of Mac Red that our scouts have been taking a look based on what he reads in the 'Swedish press'. Even if our scouts have had a look, does it really merit its own thread? Our scouts must keep an eye on loads of players all around the world but it doesn't we're actualy interested in signing them, just taking a look. Why not stick it in the rumours/gissip/bullsh!t thread and create new threads where the link with the player is a reasonably strong and reliable one.
