Fatih Karagümrük SK has strengthened its squad with the signing of young Ivorian talent Abdul Kader Moussa Kone.
The Istanbul-based club, currently at the bottom of the Turkish Süper Lig, confirmed the deal on social media, aiming to reverse a disappointing first half of the season.
The 18-year-old midfielder from Daloa signed a two-and-a-half-year contract, keeping him at Karagümrük until June 30, 2028.
Kone developed at the AFEA academy in Abidjan and began his professional journey in Ivory Coast before moving to Turkey to continue his growth under the club’s advanced infrastructure.
Kone has drawn attention for his technical prowess, agility, and speed, qualities that could see him quickly make an impact in the Süper Lig.
Karagümrük hopes his arrival will inject fresh energy into the squad and improve results in the league’s second half.
The young midfielder will join a team eager to climb out of the relegation zone, offering fans hope that his creativity and flair can transform the club’s fortunes.
Coaches have expressed optimism that Kone’s presence will not only bolster the midfield but also bring a new dynamic to the team’s attacking play.
Observers will be watching closely as the Ivorian talent adapts to the Turkish league.
His performances in the coming months could determine his trajectory and establish him as a key figure for Karagümrük.
The club’s winter transfer strategy appears focused on blending youth and potential with the experience needed to compete at Süper Lig level.
Kone’s move underlines a growing trend of Turkish clubs investing in young African talent, offering a pathway for emerging stars to showcase their skills on a bigger stage.
