Fulham forward Carlos Vinicius has joined Galatasaray on loan for the remainder of the season.

The Brazilian striker, who has scored eight goals in 48 games for the Whites, has been signed in order to add firepower to Galatasaray’s title charge. Gala currently sit second in the Turkish Super Lig, level on points with leaders Fenerbahce, and are involved in the knockout stages of the Europa League.

There is no option to buy in the deal taking Vinicius to Istanbul and the 28 year-old will reassess his Fulham future on his return to London in the summer.
