RB Leipzig defender El-Chadaille Bitshiabu is on the verge of completing a transfer to Galatasaray on loan.
The 21-year-old arrived in Istanbul on Wednesday and was photographed at the airport wearing a Galatasaray jersey.
The summer transfer window closed in Germany on Tuesday, but in Turkey it remains open until Friday.
"I had a long and arduous journey, but now I've arrived in Istanbul. I'm so happy to be here," he said. Several other loan negotiations had fallen through before the agreement with Galatasaray.
Eintracht Frankfurt forward Jean-Mattéo Bahoya moved to Leeds United on loan until mid-2027. The deal includes a mandatory buyout clause.

Leeds United have added another attacking option to their squad with Jean-Mattéo Bahoya arriving from Eintracht Frankfurt on a season-long loan.
The deal includes a mandatory €30 million purchase clause, meaning the 21-year-old is expected to make his move to Elland Road permanent next summer.
Bahoya spent the past two-and-a-half years in Germany after joining Frankfurt from Angers in January 2024. He made 78 competitive appearances for the Bundesliga club, scoring seven goals, and featured 37 times last season, including eight outings in the Champions League.
The French youth international has earned a reputation for his outstanding acceleration and holds the Bundesliga sprint record after reaching 37.16 km/h.
He has five France Under-21 caps and two goals to his name and becomes Leeds' seventh and final signing of the summer.

Eintracht Frankfurt attacker Jean-Mattéo Bahoya is set to join Leeds United after the Premier League side moved decisively for the 21-year-old on deadline day. Sky Germany, Sport Bild and The Athletic all report that Leeds entered concrete negotiations with Frankfurt on Tuesday. Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano subsequently reports that an agreement has been reached on a loan deal containing a mandatory €30m purchase clause.
The development comes just two days after another proposed move to England collapsed. Get German Football News reported on Sunday that Bahoya had personally rejected a transfer to Hull City despite Frankfurt and the newly-promoted Premier League side having already reached a verbal agreement at club level.
Frankfurt nevertheless remained prepared to negotiate a late departure for the France U21 international. Bahoya joined Eintracht from Angers SCO for approximately €8m in January 2024 and remains under contract through 2029. The winger has since made 78 competitive appearances for the RheinMain club, registering 15 scorer points.
A €30m permanent transfer would consequently leave Frankfurt with a significant profit on a player currently valued at €25m by Transfermarkt.
Bahoya required some time to establish himself after arriving from Angers, but gradually developed into one of Frankfurt's more intriguing young attacking players. The Frenchman spoke about overcoming his difficult initial adjustment to life in Germany last October, crediting Eintracht's French-speaking contingent with helping him settle both on and off the pitch.

Hull City look to be moving with real purpose in the transfer market. According to GFFN, citing Fabrizio Romano, the club have reached an agreement in principle with Eintracht Frankfurt for Jean-Mattéo Bahoya. The next step is simple enough, the player must decide.
That matters, because Bahoya is not short of options. Everton have also been linked, and when a 21-year-old French attacker with Bundesliga experience becomes available, interest tends to follow. Hull, though, have put themselves in position. That is the key point here.
Bahoya is primarily a left winger, but modern recruitment is about more than one fixed role. He can operate across the front line and offers the sort of positional flexibility Premier League squads need. For a promoted club, that has obvious value. You do not always buy specialists, you buy players who can solve several problems at once.

His numbers are respectable rather than spectacular. After joining Frankfurt from Angers in January 2024 for €8m, he made 33 appearances in all competitions in his first full season, scoring three goals and adding four ***** ists. In 2025-26, he featured 37 times, with four goals and four ***** ists. Those are not elite outputs, but they suggest development, availability and trust from coaches in a demanding environment.

Hull City have agreed a deal with Eintracht Frankfurt to sign winger Jean-Matteo Bahoya.
The 21-year-old is understood to be open to the move and has been granted permission to undergo a medical in East Yorkshire before Tuesday's transfer deadline.
The France Under-21 international, who has previously been linked with several Premier League clubs, has seven goals and eight **** ists in 78 matches for Frankfurt since joining from French club Angers in 2024.
Primarily a left winger, he is capable of playing in multiple attacking positions and holds the Bundesliga speed record after being clocked at 23.09mph during a match against Bochum in 2025.
He could become the Tigers' 13th signing of the summer transfer window as the club continues to invest heavily in Sergej Jakirovic's squad.

Credit to TEAMtalk for the original information on Tottenham Hotspur’s reported interest in Jean Matteo Bahoya, the Eintracht Frankfurt winger now emerging as one of the more intriguing names of the summer window.
Tottenham’s interest in Bahoya feels like the sort of transfer story that tells us as much about the direction of the club as it does about the player himself. At 21, the French winger represents risk, projection and possibility, three things that tend to sit at the heart of any serious rebuild.
Bahoya, signed by Frankfurt from Angers in January 2024, has built his reputation around acceleration, direct running and the ability to disturb settled defensive shapes. For Roberto De Zerbi, that profile makes obvious sense. His football needs players who can stretch the pitch, receive under pressure and turn possession into incision.

Spurs have had too many spells where the ball has moved without enough menace. Bahoya’s appeal is that he offers something sharper. He is not merely another body for the forward line, he is a player who could alter the rhythm of attacks.
