A right winger for Trabzonspor
Trabzonspor · MLS
The situation
We are seeking a right winger to add cutting edge to our wide forward areas. Our current wide forwards sit at a median Elo of 2093, which already exceeds the level of the league's leading clubs (around 1996) on that line — so any addition must compete at the top of an already strong unit. The targets below all fall short of that internal bar in raw strength, meaning they project as depth or rotation rather than guaranteed upgrades, and each carries its own form and fit considerations.

The profile
TargetstarterBudget€3.7M
The brief calls for a wide attacker capable of producing goals and chances from the right flank, ideally with the versatility to cover adjacent roles. Candidates range from a creative, dribble-heavy winger to a converted forward and dual-role options that double as full-back or central striker. None currently matches the elevated level of our wide forwards, so the decision hinges on upside, attainability and how each profile complements the existing group.

De la Vega's career reads as a steady climb from modest beginnings: he emerged at Lanus in Argentina from a low base around 1300, earned youth international recognition with Argentina's U20 and U23 sides, and made the leap to Seattle Sounders in early 2024 already strengthened to the high 1500s. Since then he has pushed on emphatically, and after a brief, almost incidental association with Los Angeles Galaxy he is back at Seattle and sitting at his career peak of 1810 — his form over the last few months is described as good, meaning clearly above average, and crucially this is the crest of a genuinely rising pattern rather than a flattering blip. He is a creative, ball-carrying right winger who also covers the left, and the profile is attractive: he is a better goal threat than 86% of players in his position, a sharper creator than 79% on assists, more effective in one-v-one dribbling than 76%, and wins fouls more often than 74% — though his key-pass output is a weakness, better than only 25%, suggesting his creativity comes through carrying rather than the final ball. At an Elo of 1810 he sits below the current level of our wide forwards (median 2093), so he would arrive as a depth or rotation option rather than a clear starter, but the rising form tempers that. About 48% of comparable transfers work out, a roughly even-handed bet. He is realistically gettable — our estimate, not a certainty — helped by his low recent valuation, though he is under contract; we value him at €2–4M. The step from MLS to the Süper Lig is a less common route, which adds a degree of adaptation risk.
Elo 1832, affordable (€2M). Form dipped, stands out for fouls drawn (58th percentile).

Hlongwane's rise has been dramatic in scale: he began at Maritzburg United in South Africa from a very low base near 920, broke into the national team, and transformed his level after joining Minnesota United in 2022, where a brief flirtation with Puebla coincided with a jump into the 1600s. He peaked at 1919 in September 2025, but the recent picture is concerning — his form over the last few months is labelled Poor, the weakest tier, and he has slipped back to 1832 with his biggest dip of the period landing in late 2025. That sagging trajectory is the headline. A right-sided attacker who also covers right-back, his attacking output does not flatter him: he is a goal threat better than only 22% of players in his position and a creator better than only 23% on key passes, with no standout traits to offset those weaknesses. At 1832 he sits well below our wide-forward level of 2093, so he projects as squad depth at best. Around 52% of comparable transfers work out. He is reasonably attainable on our estimate — under contract but modestly valued at €3–5.5M — yet the less common MLS-to-Süper Lig route and the poor current form make him hard to justify as anything but a speculative option.

Sadiq has had a focused, three-club career: a long spell at Nordsjaelland, a productive move to Hacken in Sweden that lifted him sharply, and then AZ Alkmaar in the Eredivisie from late 2023, where he climbed to a peak of 1840 in August 2025. He remains close to that peak at 1813, but the recent trend has turned down — his form over the last few months is Below average, the dip clear enough to note against an otherwise solid base. He is really a striker who can be deployed wide, and his finishing profile is elite: a better goal threat than 98% of players in his position and better than 90% on shots on target. The flip side is creation — he assists better than only 15%, confirming this is a poacher rather than a provider, which is a meaningful caveat for a right-wing brief. At 1813 he sits below our wide-forward level of 2093 and is something of a positional stretch. About 53% of comparable transfers work out. He is reasonably attainable on our estimate, under contract and valued at €2–4.5M, and the Eredivisie-to-Süper Lig step is a routine, well-trodden route — the easiest transition among this group. He is best viewed as a goalscoring option rather than a true winger.

Davida's path has been busy and unusual: from Standard Liege he settled at Maccabi Tel Aviv and surged in strength through 2024 and 2025, with a flurry of short associations with Pafos, Hamrun, Dynamo Kyiv and others around the summer of 2025 before returning to Maccabi at a career-high level. He peaked at 1875 in September 2025 and now sits at 1816, but his form over the last few months is Below average — a clear downturn from that peak, so the recent pattern is sagging despite the high ceiling reached. A right-sided attacker who also fills in at right midfield, he offers a more rounded creative profile than most here: better than 87% of players in his position on shots on target and better than 82% on key passes, with no notable weaknesses flagged. At 1816 he remains below our wide-forward level of 2093, so he would be a rotation addition. Around 52% of comparable transfers work out. His standout feature is attainability: he has an expiring contract, which makes him the most gettable of the group on our estimate, and we value him at €3–5.5M. The Israel-to-Turkey step is a less common route, but the contract situation makes him worth monitoring closely.

Bouda has spent essentially his whole career at San Jose Earthquakes, punctuated by call-ups with Burkina Faso, and his rise has been recent rather than gradual — from a trough near 1152 in 2024 he has climbed steeply to a career peak of 1853 in April 2026, sitting now at 1840 near that high. The recent form, however, is Below average, a slight downturn from the peak rather than a collapse, with a minor dip in May 2026. A right winger who also operates on the left, his attacking profile is thin on standout traits: his one notable strength is shots on target, better than 76% of players in his position, with little else to set him apart and a relatively low role fit for the brief. At 1840 he is the highest-rated of this group in raw terms but still below our wide-forward level of 2093, so depth at best. About 52% of comparable transfers work out. He is reasonably attainable on our estimate — under contract but the cheapest of the candidates at €1.5–3M — though the less common MLS-to-Süper Lig route and limited offensive output make him the least compelling fit here.
De la Vega is the standout for fit and current trajectory: he is the only candidate in genuinely good recent form and offers the most complete winger profile, even if his strength sits below our line. Davida is worth tracking purely on attainability given his expiring contract, but his form is sagging. The remaining names are lower-probability bets and would represent sideways moves at best.
