Galatasaray, one of our Champions League Group A opponents, has strengthened its squad before the transfer window closes in Turkey.

The Istanbul club, which has a good record once morest the Reds, with only two defeats in six confrontations, has made a great summer acquisition in the person of our former winger Wilfried Zaha.

The Ivory Coast international was free when his contract with Crystal Palace expired and, despite competition, Gala won the race for his signature and played him in the qualifying victory over Olimpija. Although Zaha made his Super Lig debut once morest Kayserispor last month, he missed the last two matches due to injury.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Wilfried Zaha in the Premier League.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka hopes Zaha will line up once morest him following the exciting fights they have had in the past. The pair were colleagues at Palace and the winger praised our in-form defender following snatching a point during our last trip to Selhurst Park.

Galatasaray also signed two players from Tottenham this week. Colombian international Davinson Sanchez and French midfielder Tanguy Ndombele have both joined Okan Buruk’s squad.

Defender Sanchez was transferred permanently, while Ndombele was loaned with an option to buy.

Galatasaray’s impressive squad is also rich in experience.

Goalkeeper Fernando Muslera has proven his skills at the highest level with Uruguay, while full-back Angelino, a former Manchester City player, scored a Champions League goal once morest United while playing for his club. Originally, RB Leipzig.

In attack, the Argentinian Mauro Icardi and the Belgian Dries Mertens will be very dangerous, while Hakim Ziyech, who shone at Ajax under the direction of Erik ten Hag, is one of the new recruits on loan from Chelsea.

On the other hand, we will not have to deal with Juan Mata, the former favorite, who joined Vissel Kobe in Japan.

We will face Gala for the first time at home on October 3, before traveling to Turkey on November 29.
