Tottenham Hotspur are one of the Premier League clubs keen on signing Turkish winger Baris Alper Yilmaz.

While it hasn’t been the best of starts to the new season for Tottenham Hotspur, they got things back on track with a win against Brentford. The North London club had spent a significant amount on player transfers during the summer in an attempt to reinforce their squad. While they have made some interesting additions, Spurs continue their search for players who can further improve their team.

According to a report from CaughtOffside, Ange Postecoglou’s team are still looking to add more firepower to their attack and they are interested in the services of Baris Alper Yilmaz. The 24-year-old Turkish winger has made quite a name for himself with his consistent performances for Galatasaray and now he finds himself on the wishlist of Nottingham Forest, Brighton and Tottenham.

The Seagulls had submitted a €20 million offer last summer and they will return with an improved bid at the next possible opportunity. Meanwhile, the Tricky Trees and Spurs continue to monitor him. With close to three years left on his deal, the Turkish giants are looking for around €30 million to sanction their star’s departure.

Spurs might not have tabled an offer for his services yet but they are quite interested in Yilmaz and are closely following him. His ability to feature anywhere in attack as well as in any role on either flank makes him a special talent and he could be of great use to Postecoglou. He will provide great tactical flexibility and the 24-year-old will only get better with time.
