Tottenham have 24-year-old defensive midfielder ‘on their radar’, another PL club keen

By Saikat -

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on signing the Turkish midfielder Ismail Yuksek.

A report from Aksam (h/t SportWitness) claims that Tottenham are looking to bring in midfield reinforcements, especially with the future of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in doubt.

The Denmark international has been linked with a move away from the north London club in recent months and he could look to move on in January. Clubs like Juventus and Atletico Madrid are keeping tabs on him.

In addition to that, Tottenham will lose players like Pepe Matar Sarr and Yves Bissouma in January during the African Cup of Nations. They need to add more quality and depth through their midfield.

The Turkish midfielder is highly rated around Europe and he could prove to be a quality long-term acquisition. Yuksek is a defensive midfielder who will help shield the back four and break up opposition attacks.

His arrival will allow Ange Postecogou to rotate players like Bissouma. The Malian international has been a key player for Tottenham and they should look to keep him fresh for the remainder of the season. Therefore, the Turkish midfielder is ‘on their radar’.

A number of European clubs are keeping tabs on the Fenerbahce midfielder as well and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham can win the race for his signature.

The opportunity to play for the Premier League club will be an attractive option for the Turkish midfielder and he is likely to be tempted to join them.

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can agree on a reasonable fee with Fenerbahce in the coming months.
