We were all very happy that he returned home after a short separation. He is a goalkeeper that our coach wants very much. He is a character who will be an older brother in Samandıra. Hopefully, we will be champions in May and Mert’s contribution will be great.” Torunoğulları also emphasized that the transfer period is continuing and reinforcements to the squad will continue.
