Republic of Ireland's Ebosele joins Turkish club
Ebosele has won seven caps for the Republic of Ireland
- Published
Republic of Ireland midfielder Festy Ebosele has signed for Turkish side Istanbul Basaksehir on a three-and-a-half-year deal.
Ebosele was recalled from his loan spell at Watford by parent club Udinese on Thursday after scoring one goal in his 18 Championship appearances for the Hornets this season.
The 22-year-old only played a full 90 minutes on two occasions and has not started a game since Watford's 1-0 win over Bristol City in November.
The former Bray Wanderers youth player moved to Udinese from Derby County in the summer of 2022 and played 50 games for the Italian side.
He made his Republic of Ireland debut in the closing stages of a 2-0 defeat against France in 2023 and has since won six more caps for his country.
The versatile Wexford native can operate in midfield as well as full-back and joins an Istanbul Basaksehir side who are seventh in the Super Lig.
