Tottenham have identified another wide forward for a potential signing this summer.
According to journalist Ali Naci Küçük, who spoke to Rönesans TV’s YouTube channel, Spurs are set to make an official offer for Galatasaray’s versatile forward Barış Alper Yılmaz in the coming days, as relayed by Haber Sarı Kırmızı.
The Turkish international has garnered interest from several clubs, with Manchester United also reportedly preparing a bid.
Galatasaray are expected to demand at least €20 million for Yılmaz, who currently has a market value of €17 million.
The 24-year-old showcased his talents while representing Turkey at Euro 2024. Tottenham closely monitored his performances during the tournament, where he started all five games and helped Turkey reach the quarter-finals before being narrowly defeated by the Netherlands.
Yılmaz joined Galatasaray in the summer of 2021 and has since become an integral part of the squad. His contract was recently extended in May last year, securing his stay until 2027.
During the last season, Yılmaz played a crucial role in Galatasaray’s Super Lig triumph, contributing seven goals and 12 assists in 55 appearances across all competitions. His impressive form continued from the previous season, where he recorded eight goals and six assists in 32 appearances, solidifying his status as a key player. Since joining the Turksih club, he has made 108 appearances across all competitions, scoring 11 and assisting 14. (Transfermarkt)
Yılmaz’s versatility allows him to play effectively on both wings and as a centre-forward, making him an attractive prospect for Tottenham.
As Spurs look to enhance their squad for the upcoming season, the pursuit of Barış Alper Yılmaz highlights their commitment to securing top talent.
