Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on the Galatasaray winger Barris Alper Yilmaz.
According to a report via SportWitness, the North London club are keen on the 24-year-old Turkish winger and will face competition from Brighton. The Seagulls are willing to offer around €25 million in order to sign the winger and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham can beat them to his signature.
The North London club are well stocked in the wide areas and signing another winger would be quite surprising. Tottenham should focus on improving their midfield and defence first.
Yilmaz had an impressive season with the Turkish outfit last year, scoring seven goals and picking up 12 assists in all competitions. He has started the current season in impressive form, scoring four goals and picking up an assist in nine matches.
The winger needs to play regularly at this stage of his career, and Brighton will be able to provide him with that opportunity. At Spurs, he will have to compete with Wilson Odobert, Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski, and Son Heung-min.
It will be interesting to see if Brighton submit an offer to sign the player in the coming weeks and whether the Turkish outfit are prepared to accept it. The opportunity to play in the Premier League will be quite attractive for the 24-year-old and he will be excited to try out a new challenge at this stage of his career.
There is no doubt that the technically gifted winger is good enough for the Premier League, but Tottenham have other priorities and it seems unlikely that they will sign the player.
