Tottenham Hotspur are keen on the Besiktas winger Semih Kilicsoy.
According to journalist Gokmen Ozcan, the North London club are ‘following’ the 18-year-old winger ‘closely’ and they will face competition from top-four rivals Aston Villa.
Kilicsoy has been in impressive form for the Turkish club this season, scoring six goals across all competitions. The 18-year-old is versatile enough to operate on both flanks and he will add pace, flair and goals to the Tottenham attack if he joins the club at the end of the season.
The North London outfit could certainly use more depth in the wide areas, especially with Ivan Perisic leaving the club. The Turkish winger would be a long-term investment for the London club, and they could help him develop into a quality player in the near future.
If Tottenham can secure his services for a reasonable price at the end of the season, the move could even look like a bargain in the coming seasons.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa are looking to add more quality and depth to their attack as well. They have been overly dependent on Ollie Watkins this season and they need more quality at their disposal if they want to continue to push for a top-four finish every season.
The opportunity to move for the Premier League will be an attractive option for the young winger but he must seek gametime assurances before making the move. He needs to play regularly at this stage of his career and sitting on the bench at Spurs or Aston Villa is unlikely to benefit him.
