£20m Arsenal target hailed after display v Manchester United

Arsenal looked into signing Sacha Boey earlier this year and the Galatasaray star has dazzled against Manchester United.

Galatasaray star Sacha Boey will have surely impressed Arsenal if they were watching him on Tuesday night.

Boey and Galatasaray headed to Old Trafford on Tuesday night, hoping to pull off an upset against Manchester United.

The Turkish side twice fell behind to Rasmus Hojlund goals but hit back with equalisers from Wilfried Zaha and Kerem Akturkoglu.

Mauro Icardi then won it for Galatasaray, profiting from dreadful United defending to win the game having missed a penalty just moments earlier.

Sacha Boey dazzles for Galatasaray

A number of Galatasaray players turned in strong displays, including French right back Boey.

The 23-year-old recorded one shot, two key passes, five successful aerial duels, one successful dribble, two clearances and one interception.

This was a fine performance from Boey, who was up against Marcus Rashford for large spells and was able to show his Premier League class.

The Turkish media have gone wild with praise for Boey, with newspaper Sabah suggesting that he ‘plays perfectly every match’.

Boey is likely to be on Premier League radars; if he wasn’t before last night, then he certainly is now!

Arsenal have been fans of Boey for a while with The Telegraph reporting in May that the Gunners were chasing a deal worth around £20million.

Mikel Arteta and co ended up signing Jurrien Timber, a versatile defender who can also play as a right back when needed.

Boey showed why Arsenal have been interested though and the Gunners may well still have an interest in landing him.

Boey surely won’t be playing in Turkey for long though with Tuesday’s display a perfect demonstration of his quality.
