Tottenham now eager to sign Kenan Yildiz amid Juventus future update
Tottenham Hotspur find themselves among the clubs most interested in acquiring a “spectacular” forward from the Champions League; however, it may require a substantial bid to persuade his current club to agree to a sale.
Spurs targeting new forward with Semenyo set for Man City
Tottenham aims to sign a new forward in the upcoming transfer window, having marked AFC Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo as a prospective target, but now it seems the Ghanaian may be headed to a competing Premier League team. Indeed, Manchester City appears to have secured the lead for Semenyo, as a transfer to the Etihad Stadium would grant him the chance to pursue major trophies.
As a result, Spurs will likely need to explore alternative targets, and it has been reported that Man City’s Savinho has emerged as a viable option. Nevertheless, the Lilywhites are also examining prospects from abroad, with a report from TEAMtalk indicating they are among the clubs most enthusiastic about signing Juventus star Kenan Yildiz, alongside Chelsea, while Arsenal has also shown interest. Yildiz is regarded as Tottenham’s ‘ideal’ attacking target, having surfaced as one of football’s ‘most thrilling emerging talents,’ but it could necessitate a substantial offer to convince the Italian club to greenlight a transfer, with an £88m price estimate circulating.
The report further includes an update regarding the Turk’s future at Juventus, mentioning that the Serie A club’s new sporting director, Marco Ottolini, is anticipated to initiate discussions regarding a new contract, and there is an understanding that the 20-year-old would prefer to stay in Turin.
“Spectacular” Yildiz may serve as a strong Semenyo alternative
It is unfortunate that Tottenham appears to have missed out on Semenyo, as the Ghana international has already made his mark in England, scoring eight goals in 16 appearances in the Premier League this season, in addition to contributing three assists. However, the Juventus talent has shown that he could be a compelling alternative, having delivered impressive performances this season with five goals and four assists in 15 Serie A matches.
