Everton and Tottenham are reportedly battling for Feyenoord teenager Ozancan Kokcu.
The agent of Feyenoord youngster Ozancan Kokcu has told Yahoo Sport that Tottenham re pressing to sign the teenager – but Everton are also speaking to him.
Feyenoord’s youth academy has a rich history, and current Premier League stars such as Nathan Ake, Bruno Martins Indi, Daryl Janmaa, Leroy Fer, Jordy Clasie, Marten de Roon, Georginio Wijnaldum and Vincent Janssen all passing through the Rotterdam club.
Teenage talent Tahith Chong has recently left the club in order to join Manchester Untied, and Feyenoord now risk losing another young player to a Premier League club.

Dutch talent Ozancan Kokcu, of Turkish descent, joined the club from Groningen in 2016, but he could be on the move again at the end of the season, with Feyenoord desperately attempting to extend his contract, which is set to expire this summer.

A playmaker who can also play out wide, the 18-year-old appears to be a real target for Premier League clubs, with his agent offering an update on the wonderkid’s situation.
Agent Muzzy Ozcan has told Yahoo Sport that there are ‘serious offers’ from teams in England, Germany and the Netherlands, with Tottenham leading the race.
Ozcan claims that Tottenham are ‘pursuing the hardest’ right now, but Everton have also spoken to Kokcu about a summer deal, with a decision expected in ‘the coming weeks’.
“We have serious offers from England, Holland and Germany,” said Ozcan. “Tottenham, Everton and clubs in Germany are speaking to him, Spurs are pursuing the contract the hardest. In the coming weeks we will decide his future,” he added.

Tottenham have generated a real reputation for developing young players under Mauricio Pochettino, meaning a move to White Hart Lane could be appealing, but with Dutch legend Ronald Koeman – formerly in charge of Feyenoord – at the helm with Everton, the Toffees will hope to beat Spurs to Kokcu’s signature this summer.
Do you think Kokcu should join Spurs, Everton or another club?
