Tottenham Hotspur are reported to be keen on signing Bruma from Galatasaray.

Tottenham Hotspur are claimed to be ramping up interest in Portuguese winger Bruma.

Turkish outlet Aksam claim that Spurs have watched Bruma six times already this season, as they look to add a dynamic threat to their recently goal shy forward line.

Tottenham’s latest interest in the 22-year-old should not come as a surprise at all, given their previous interest in the player.

The club were first linked with signing Bruma back in 2010, when the winger was just 15-years-old.

Bruma was at Portuguese club Sporting Lisbon at the time, as part of their academy side.

Tottenham were reported by The Mail to have shown interest when Sporting approached them for a loan deal for Russian striker Roman Pavluchenko.

Sporting decided that the forward was not worth them giving up on Bruma for, who at the time was being hailed as the next Cristiano Ronaldo.

He was sold in 2013 to Galatasaray in a surprise deal, where he has remained, and has 18 months left on his contract.

Bruma’s form has been impressive this season. To date in 10 appearances he has scored four goals and provided three assists, demonstrating his quality.

A move to Tottenham would allow him to kick on to the next level, and if they get their man, it will be up to the winger to prove that he was worth waiting for.
