Tottenham Hotspur are now planning to scout Galatasaray winger Kerem Akturkoglu against Bayern Munich in midweek.

Kerem Akturkoglu will be watched by Tottenham Hotspur against Harry Kane’s Bayern Munich on Tuesday night.

That is according to Turkish newspaper Milliyet, who claim that Tottenham have ‘made a reservation’ to watch Akturkoglu.

Maybe we will see Tottenham add another winger in January.

Brennan Johnson only arrived last month but Manor Solomon and Ivan Perisic are now both suffering injury problems.

Perisic is expected to leave for Hajduk Split in 2024 anyway, so maybe Ange Postecoglou will push for another addition.

Tottenham Hotspur to watch Kerem Akturkoglu

Turkish newspaper Milliyet now suggest that Tottenham have focused their attention on Galatasaray wide man Akturkoglu.

It’s suggested that Tottenham watched Akturkoglu against Besiktas on Saturday and plan to scout him again in midweek.

Akturkoglu is expected to feature for Galatasaray in midweek as they take on Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

Galatasaray have a genuine hope of going through to the knockout stage after beating Manchester United, with Akturkoglu vital.

Atletico Madrid will join Spurs in scouting Akturkoglu, meaning Tottenham could face a real battle for the winger in 2024.

Akturkoglu may be ready for the next step

Akturkoglu has been on an incredible rise having featured in Turkey’s lower leagues with Karacabey and 24 Erzincanspor.

Now a star man for Galatasaray, the time may be right for ‘wizard’ Akturkoglu to take the next step in his career.

Primarily a left winger who can also play as a number 10, Akturkoglu has now racked up 34 goals and 37 assists in 136 games for Galatasaray.

The 25-year-old has become one of Turkish football’s top players and a move to one of Europe’s top five leagues could be in his future.

Tottenham may now be ready to strike having already allowed Davinson Sanchez and Tanguy Ndombele to join Galatasaray recently, strengthening the connection between the clubs.
