The Portuguese winger has been linked with moves to Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United, among others.

The agent of reported Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United target Bruma has told Sport Witness the pair are yet to be approached by any club.

Speculation over 22-year-old’s future has increased with the January transfer window creeping ever closer, and Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea are also said to be keen on his services (Mirror).

Turkish outlet Aksam reported that Tottenham in particular have watched Bruma six times this season, with the Portuguese winger scoring four goals and assisting another three in 11 Galatasaray outings.

And according to Catio Balde, Bruma’s representative, his client is confident that the interest will lead to his transfer to an English club.

“There are English and German clubs who follow Bruma weekly. What’s happened is that there hasn’t been an advance until now. Anything can happen in December,” he told Sport Witness. “He wants to play in the Premier League and he’s sure he’ll be bought.”

According to Aksam, any club wanting to prise Bruma from the Turk Telecom Arena would have to pay €25 million (£21.5 million) to do so.

And it remains to be seen whether Tottenham would be willing to part with such a substantial fee, having paid a reported £10 million for French winger Georges-Kevin N’Koudou in August.

West Ham, meanwhile, are currently well-stocked in wide areas, but are likely to have drawn up a list of targets should Dimitri Payet and Gokhan Tore depart the London Stadium in the New Year.

Payet is said to have attracted interest from a string of Champions League clubs, while the Sun reported that the Hammers are trying to send back Tore to parent club Besiktas five months early.
