The twitter account it came from has nearly 98,000 followers, so there's definitely something to it.Whilst I'm hugely skeptical King, for what it's worth I'm not entirely convinced it's fake news. As you say, of all the teams in Europe they could have chosen why on earth would they settle on Wigan?
Plus, I know the club have been assembling a new team of scouts who no doubt will have been hired to find these sort of gems. You can tell this lad is probably one of those who ticks all the "analytical/xG" boxes and we'd see him as someone who at only 20, could be worth mega money in say two years time if he was to smash it. Plus considering he plays for a Turkish second division club, he's not likely to be on big wages which gives the club wiggle room to go higher on the transfer fee.
And to be fair, with LR using Lang as a winger, we are actually a Striker short.
