Babel close to move back to Turkey

Fulham forward Ryan Babel is closing in on a move to Galatasaray.

The 32-year-old Netherlands international has held discussions with the Turkish club and a move there looks likely.

Babel joined the Whites from Besiktas in January on a contract until the end of the season and is now set for a return to Turkey.

The ex-Liverpool player has impressed, scoring five times in 14 Premier League appearances, but was unable to help Fulham avoid relegation back to the Championship.
