„AS Roma“ introduced their third summer transfer newcomer. Romas team officially welcomed right-back Zeki Celik from „Lille“. It is reported that the club coached by Jose Mourinho paid 7 million euros for the 25-year-old Turk. Portugal's Z. Celik was wanted by „Tottenham“ when Mourinho was coaching there, but Matt Doherty was chosen instead. It is still unclear what tactical formation the experienced strategist will use in the upcoming season, but last season „Roma“ finished with a formation consisting of three center-backs and attacking full-backs. Z. Celik is more of a defensive player, so it is interesting to see how the Turk will fit into J. Mourinho's tactics. Most likely, the 25-year-old defender should be a starting eleven player.
“It’s an honor for me to play for such a big club; I have big ambitions and I want to help this team be successful." The Turkiye international has signed a deal until 2026! ✍️ #ASRoma | @mzekicelik17
