Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Cyle Larin from Besiktas in the summer transfer window, according to 90min.
It has been reported that Tottenham scouts have been impressed by Larin and believe that he would be a good addition to the team.
Carlos Vinicius will return to his parent club Benfica after his loan spell at Tottenham ends at the end of the season, and the North London club are reportedly on the hunt for a replacement forward.
So what type of a player is Larin?
Larin is a very good attacking player who can play as an out-and-out striker and also on the wing.
The Canada international has scored 19 goals and provided four assists in 35 Super Lig appearances for Besiktas this season.
According to WhoScored, the 26-year-old has played predominately as a left-winger this season, and his goal-tally from that position is very impressive indeed.
Brazilian legend Kaka played with Larin at Orlando City, and he rates him highly.
“I think Cyle can go far,” Kaka told MLS Soccer, as covered by HITC Sport, “Cyle can play in a big team in Europe as well.”
Of course, some will be sceptical about signing a player from the Turkish league, but at the right price, Larin could be a good signing.
The report in 90min has claimed interest in the 26-year-old from West Ham United as well, which shows just how highly rated he is and how impressive he has been this season.
