Galatasaray have confirmed they have signed striker Burak Yilmaz for a reported fee of five million euros.

An official statement released by the club reveals that the 27-year-old has put pen to paper on a four-year deal, with the option for an extra season.

The forward has been in rampant form for Trabzonspor since joining them in 2010 - scoring 55 goals in just 74 league appearances.

He has also started to make an impact at international level: hitting the target six times in 18 starts since making his debut for Turkey in 2006.

The tall, powerful striker will pick up 20,000 euros a week from the Turkish champions.
