Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly requested permission from Galatasaray to hold talks with Kerem Akturkoglu over a move in 2024.

Over the past few months, a number of elite clubs have been linked with the brilliant 24-year-old attacker. A transfer in one of the upcoming two transfer windows appears likely, and if Aksam is to be believed, Tottenham are now the most interested party.

Tottenham seek permission to hold transfer talks with Kerem Akturkoglu

Tottenham have joined a number of English clubs in the race to sign Kerem Akturkoglu.

Just last week, it was revealed that Arsenal are interested in signing the talented Turk. Now, the report from Aksam claims Liverpool and Manchester United are also keeping an eye.

However, Tottenham appears to be the team most motivated to sign Akturkoglu.

According to the publication, Spurs have started talking to Galatasaray and have even asked for their permission to speak with the player directly.

Akturkoglu has five goals and seven assists to his name this season in just 16 appearances for Galatasaray, where he primarily plays on the left wing.

But because he still has two and a half years left on his contract, Galatasaray is in a reasonably advantageous position when attempting to trade him.

Do Spurs even need him?

Tottenham have plenty of options in attack right now.

Son Heung-min, Richarlison, Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski, Bryan Gil, Manor Solomon, and Ivan Perisic are more than enough alternatives for Ange Postecoglou’s assault. Perisic and Gil may depart, but Richarlison and Son are primarily deployed through the middle, so there is a good possibility they won’t.

That makes it possible for someone like Akturkoglu to enter the picture, and if the rumors are to be believed, Spurs are taking their pursuit of the Turk very seriously.

It will be intriguing to watch where Akturkoglu, who has been dubbed a “wizard” for both his skill on the field and his love of Harry Potter, ends up. He appears to be headed out of Galatasaray in a significant way next year.

‘He’s a liability’: Pundit says £4m Tottenham player is way too slow

Eric Dier is out of the picture at Tottenham Hotspur at the moment, and, as you can imagine, he’s being linked with a potential move elsewhere in January.

As Jose Mourinho tries to reunite with the England international, AS Roma is one team that is reportedly interested in Dier this winter.

Stuart Robson, who spoke on ESPN, cautioned Mourinho against signing Dier in January, arguing that the £4 million defender is a liability and much too slow to manage the demands of modern-day top-flight football.

Too slow

Robson mentioned Dier’s sluggishness.

What do you desire? Do you prefer a solid defender over someone who is able to play passes into the front players? If you want a solid defender, I wouldn’t recommend getting Eric Dier since he’s not quick enough, doesn’t recognize danger quickly enough, and is therefore a liability. However, if you want someone who will just play out from the back, you might want him. Otherwise, I wouldn’t recommend it because I’m not a fan of Eric Dier right now.

Could work in Italy

In spite of the fact that Dier’s lack of speed has exposed him in the Premier League over the past 18 months or so, he might find his finest form again in Italy.

Edin Dzeko and Ciro Immobile have frequently been among the top scorers in Serie A’s slower-paced league during the previous ten years, which could be ideal for Dier.

We’ve seen that Dier can succeed in a Mourinho team, so moving him to Roma in an effort to revive his career may not be the worst idea in the world.
