“Young Talent Can Uzun Sparks European Interest with Stellar Performances, Brighton & Everton Among Suitors”
In October, we reported on assertions from Germany that both Brighton & Hove Albion and Everton are closely monitoring the rising talent Can Uzun from 1. FC Nürnberg.
Functioning as either an attacking midfielder or striker, the 18-year-old has impressively contributed 11 goals and three assists in 18 games this season, further solidifying his reputation.
Bild highlights his recent standout performance, scoring two goals against Hansa Rostock over the weekend.
Given Uzun’s remarkable form and skills, several European clubs,
including Brighton and Everton, have expressed interest, with even Bayern Munich reportedly in the mix.
Despite having a contract until 2027 and an €8 million valuation, Uzun is anticipated to fetch at least €10 million for the second-division German club upon his expected departure next summer.
Bild is confident that Uzun is on track to become Nürnberg’s record sale, with the club’s sporting director, Olaf Rebbe, expressing satisfaction with the player’s
unwavering focus on football amidst the attention.
Rebbe remarked, “It’s always positive when a sought-after player delivers such performances.
Can’s qualities have been well known in the football industry for a while.
I’m particularly impressed by how he keeps football at the center of all the attention, which is exactly how it should be.”
Bild notes that despite the growing interest from clubs like
Brighton and Everton, Uzun remains composed and unaffected.
In response to the attention, Uzun stated,
“It’s great when people talk about me, and I want it to stay that way.
But you can’t let thoughts like that enter the pitch.
You can only focus on what’s happening on the field right now.
As I mentioned, my entire focus is on the present and the season with Nürnberg.
The rest will unfold at the end of the season.”
