Respected journalist, Fabrizio Romano, has confirmed that Tottenham is in fact interested in signing Lille right-back, Zeki Celik this summer.
The Lilywhites will look to overhaul their team in this transfer window and get them prepared to win trophies under Jose Mourinho from next season.
The overhaul will involve not just players joining the club, but also players almost certain to depart.
One player who might be leaving the club is Serge Aurier, even though he is currently the only option at right-back.
The Ivorian has been inconsistent since he has been at the club and he is being targeted by the likes of AC Milan right now.
His departure will mean that the club will inevitably sign a new right-back, maybe even two and one player that has been linked with a move to north London is Celik.
The young Turkish star has caught the attention of Mourinho with his performances for the French side, and Spurs might be the team he plays for next season.
Romano was asked for an update on links between the player and the club on Twitter as reported by Football London, and he remarked that Spurs did like him, but added that he is just one of a few players that the club is looking at.
He responded when asked about the player joining Spurs: “he’s just one of the names on the list if Aurier will leave”
