Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Fenerbahce defender Yusuf Akcicek.
According to a report from CaughtOffside, Arsenal and Manchester United are keen on signing the 19-year-old central defender as well.
Akcicek has impressed with the Turkish outfit, and he could prove to be a quality long-term acquisition for Tottenham. Jose Mourinho has recently labelled Akcicek as a player with “great potential”.
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can win the race for his signature.
They need to add more quality and depth to their defensive unit and the 19-year-old could be the ideal backup option for players like Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven for now. He has all the attributes to develop into a key player for Tottenham with the right guidance and experience.
Tottenham currently have four central defenders at their disposal after they signed Kevin Danso on loan in January. However, Romero and Van de Ven have struggled with injury issues. They could use another young defender in the squad.
Meanwhile, Arsenal are keen on the player as well. They are already well stocked in the central defensive unit, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to move for the 19-year-old. They should look to sign a quality full back instead.
As far as Manchester United are concerned, they could certainly use more depth in the squad. Harry Maguire is well past his peak and he will need to be replaced in the near future. The Turkish defender could be the ideal replacement for the England international.
All three clubs will be exciting destinations for the young defender, and it remains to be seen where he ends up eventually.
