Scheduled for tomorrow at 20:45 (Italian) the debut of Dries Mertens with the Galatasary who will face Giresunspor at home. The former Napoli is therefore ready to stamp his first presence with the Giallorossi club in Istanbul, thus starting his new Turkish experience.
The Belgian after signing a contract that binds him to Galatasary until 2023, he didn’t have a jersey number yet. The choice of the latter was entrusted to the fans who through the fan tokens on the app of partners were able to choose from the following options: at 10, at 16 or at 21.
After voting closes, the jersey number assigned to Dries Mertens it’s 10. Number that years ago belonged to another champion who also played in Italy: Wesley Sneijder. So a great one responsibility what he will have Dries Mertens.
