According to Haber 3, Tottenham are now in a three-horse race with Manchester United and Brighton for Galatasaray winger Baris Alper Yilmaz.
Yilmaz has emerged as one of the most exciting attackers in the Turkish top flight over the last couple of years, with the exciting wideman scoring seven times and providing 12 assists across all competitions last season (Transfermarkt).
It was reported by HITC back in April that Aston Villa and Tottenham are among the admirers of the Galatasaray star, who was said to be valued at £22m.
Subsequently, Milliyet reported that the Lilywhites and the Villans had been joined in the race for the 24-year-old’s signature by the likes of West Ham United, Juventus, AS Roma and Lille.
However, Haber 3 have now named Spurs, Brighton and United as the three clubs currently battling it out for the Turkey international.
The report says that Ange Postecoglou’s men are continuing to keep close tabs on the winger and that Galatasaray are now willing to sell Yilmaz.
However, the Istanbul giants’ asking price has allegedly gone up, with the publication stating that they are now demanding €30m (£25.4m) for their star man.
Spurs Web Opinion
There is no concrete evidence to suggest that Tottenham hold a serious interest in Yilmaz or that the Premier League side have made any approach for the 24-year-old.
It appears that Postecoglou’s men are now focused on other targets.
