Fenerbahce Confirms Addition of Ali Bilgin

By Nathan L. Redd

As previously reported on Fenerbahce Worldwide Wednesday, Fenerbahce has indeed agreed to terms with Antalyaspor Striker Ali Bilgin. The club confirmed the deal on its website Thursday. It is believed the contract with Bilgin will be a three-year deal.

The 25-year-old star played in the German Bundesliga for Rot-Weiss Essen before joining Antalyaspor last year. His quickness and scoring ability made many clubs notice him during his brief tenure at Antalyaspor. Fenerbahce has been in the market for another striker to accompany Mateja Kezman on the front line. The club is expected to formally announce the acquisition at a press conference within the next few days.
