With a strong link to Australian players, Genclerbirligi are keen on another Aussie youngster, Newcastle Jets' Ben Kantarovski.

The Turkish club reportedly have the 16-year old on their radar and are hoping to sign the Young Socceroo on a deal that enables him to stay with the Jets until he turns 18.

FIFA rules state that a player is first allowed to transfer internationally from another club when he is 18.
