Fenerbahce have issued a hands off warning to Rangers over Martin Skrtel
Fenerbahce manager Aykut Kocaman is in no hurry to sell the club’s key player, who cost them £5million two years ago.
He said: ‘Martin Skrtel is an important part of the team. He won’t be going anywhere this summer. Why would he? He is happy here.
‘He is a brave warrior. Last week against Kasimpasa, he received the worst wound I have seen in my football career. His head was burst open.
‘But he got five stitches and played on. He had to go to hospital after the game and get several more stitches. This is the type of person he is. He is an inspiration.’ Gerrard and Skrtel played at Liverpool together for eight years and he is highly rated by the new Ibrox boss.
