Republic of Ireland international *Festy Ebosele* has completed a move to Istanbul Basaksehir from Udinese. The 22-year-old wing-back has penned a three-and-a-half-year deal with the Turkish Super Lig club, who are currently seventh in the table. Istanbul Basaksehir ended St Patrick's Athletic's Conference League journey in the summer when they prevailed in a two-legged play-off. However they subsequently failed to make it to the knockout stages. Ebosele spent the first part of this campaign on loan at Watford. He had initially agreed to stay at Vicarage Road for the season but cut short his stay to seal a switch to Istanbul. *Today's transfer updates: https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2025/0131/1494095-transfers-ebosele-seals-move-to-istanbul-basaksehir/*
