Göztepe are being linked with a move for The Gambia and Sweden centre-back Noah Sonko Sundberg, who currently plays for Bulgarian side Ludogorets and is valued at around €900,000.
The 30-year-old defender, born in Nacka on 6 June 1996 and standing at 1.87m, is reportedly on the radar of the Turkish Süper Lig club as they look to reinforce their back line. Transfermarkt data lists the deal only as a rumour, with the probability of the move still marked as “?”, and there is no confirmed contract end date at Ludogorets, leaving open the possibility of a future free-agent departure if an agreement is not reached.
Sonko Sundberg, who holds dual Gambian and Swedish nationality and is a right-footed centre-back, has established himself as a physically imposing defender in the efbet Liga. His market value of €900k provides a benchmark for any potential negotiations, although there is no indication yet of a formal bid or agreed fee between the clubs.
In his most recent reported outing for Ludogorets, Sonko Sundberg featured in a league match on 15 June 2026, with the Bulgarian champions facing domestic opposition in a tightly contested fixture. The game finished with a narrow scoreline, and the 30-year-old produced the kind of disciplined, aerially strong performance that has made him an attractive option for clubs seeking experience at the back.
Having previously played across different European leagues before his spell in Bulgaria, the defender’s track record and status as a full international for The Gambia add further weight to Göztepe’s interest.
If a move to İzmir does materialise, it could offer Sonko Sundberg a fresh platform in the Süper Lig to enhance his reputation and shape the next phase of his career at the top level.
