The right-back position is one of Tottenham’s problem spots, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if the club signs a new right-back in the next transfer window.
Serge Aurier has been used in that position by Jose Mourinho this season, but his inconsistency means that he is far from being the club’s first choice into the future, and he could even have competition next season.
A new report from Turkey via Sporun Dibi is claiming that Tottenham is interested in landing Lille’s full-back, Mehmet Zeki Celik.
Celik has been in fine form for the French side, whom he joined as an unknown quantity.
Lille has developed the reputation of building the careers of some of Europe’s best young talents for some time now, and Celik is one of the players they have plucked from obscurity to make a name for himself.
The report claims that Jose Mourinho is a fan of the full-back and that the “special one” will look to sign him in the summer.
Tottenham isn’t the only team looking to sign Celik, and the same report adds that they may have to see off competition from Atalanta to get their man.
Celik played 23 league games for Lille this season and provided 3 assists, according to transfermarkt.
