Chelsea To Sign Middlesbrough’s Tuncay?
Premier League giants Chelsea seem to have made Middlesbrough striker Tuncay Sanli their top target for January as manager Luiz Felipe Scolari seems to be eager to sign a striker next month.
According to The Daily Mail, Chelsea are ready to spend as much as £8 million to sign the Turkish international striker who arrived at Middlesbrough last year on a free transfer. Tuncay has been a revelation at Boro and has expressed his versatility to play on the wings too.
Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon though has continuously stressed that they would make no addition to their squad in January. But it seems that manager Scolari is keen to sign one striker so as to provide some back-up to Nicolas Anelka and Didier Drogba.
Tuncay Sanli has developed to one of the better strikers in the Premier League and is one of the crucial factors why Middlesbrough are in real contension of a UEFA Cup spot. Boro manager Gareth Southgate would certainly like to keep Tuncay for until the end of the season at least.
But can he hold on in front of Chelsea’s millions? And is he good enough for Chelsea?

Chelsea will have to offer more like £10million to get their hands on Tuncay. He is an amazing player that would fit into any team in Europe. Alex Ferguson is a big fan of Boro’s best striker. By the way Subhankar Mondal, Tuncay is Turkish not French.
December 10th, 2008 @ 13:53… French striker who arrived at Middlesbrough last year… currently tops the scoring charts in the Premier League with 13 goals…
He is neither French nor the top scorer. He is Turkish and even if he doesn’t score much, we love him.

Chelsea would be one of the luckiest teams in the premiere lig if they were to actually have Tuncay Sanli. Tuncay Sanli was an excellent player in Turkey and still plays wonderfully for the Turkish National Team. He is strong willed and never backs down from an opportunity to score a goal. It would be nice to see him playing for Chelsea because then everyone would get to know him more.
January 2nd, 2009 @ 01:02Tuncay is currently the best player from Turkey; he has had a great carrier at Fenerbahce but wanted to move on. He went to Boro as a part of his plan. He is a hard worker who can play left or right wings, attacking midfielder or striker. You could see him in a same minute saving a goal then scoring one right after.
January 2nd, 2009 @ 15:46Tuncay Sanli is the best player.I want him to join Chelsea right now.He can make a change for Chelsea,I hope that..
January 20th, 2009 @ 13:22Tuncay Sanli Was A Very Good Player At Fenerbahce He Is A Very Energetic Player I Would Belive Him Making Changes At Bridge. Its A Good Move By Chelsea And Hes Also Young My Point Of View #2 Messi
