Wesley Sneijder is one step closer to officially joining Galatasaray, after completing his
medical on Tuesday.
Hundreds of fans welcomed Sneijder as he landed in Istanbul ahead of his impending ten million
euros move from Inter Milan and the Dutch international is enjoying the attention.
"When I came here yesterday, when I arrived from the airport, I had a warm welcome by
all the fans so it was amazing. But I had a warm welcome this morning as well. I feel
really comfortable here in Istanbul already and I'm ready to train."
Sneijder has signed a three and a half year deal with the Turkish Super Lig leaders.
The 28-year-old is set to have his first training session on Tuesday afternoon, followed by
an official signing ceremony at Galatasaray's Turk Telecom Arena.
Sneijder could be thrown in at the deep end if he is selected to make his debut against
Besiktas on Sunday.
