Reports in Germany are suggesting that Bayer Leverkusen attacking midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu has decided his next move will be to either England or Italy – with Everton and Tottenham Hotspur reportedly interested.
Bild is reporting that the Turkish international will finally leave the club this summer, with Lazio one team keen to sign him. Besiktas and Galatasaray are also keen, but the 23-year-old is not currently interested in a switch to his Turkish homeland.
But Everton and Spurs are said to be two teams who might be interested in his signature.
The report claims that Bayer Leverkusen want to sell the player for a fee in the region of 25 million euros, around £22.1 million.
Hakan Calhanoglu
The 26-cap international, who has recently been suspended for a violation of FIFA transfer rules from his time at Karlsruher, is a top talent whose free-kick ability has seen him dubbed the best dead-ball specialist in the world by some.
At £22.1 million he may seem a steep acquisition, but Everton and Spurs could both use a game-changing player like Calhanoglu in their side next season.
