Tottenham Hotspur are now keen to make a move to sign Ismail Yuksek, just two days after he said he wanted to join Manchester United.

Spurs are expected to strengthen multiple areas of their pitch this summer. Ange Postecoglou‘s side need help in quite a few positions, and Fenerbahce midfielder Yuksek has now been linked with a move to Tottenham.

Tottenham want to sign Ismail Yuksek

Tottenham’s midfield has looked very strong when they have had their best players fit.

James Maddison as a 10 has been incredible. He only joined the club last summer, but he hit the ground running and is one of Spurs’ most important players.

Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr have both had outstanding campaigns as well, especially the latter, who has been a revelation under Ange Postecoglou.

That has left Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg on the bench more often than not, which is why he has been heavily linked with a move away from Tottenham.

TV100 claimed on Friday that Spurs are on the lookout to replace the Dane and Fenerbahce midfielder Ismail Yuksek is the player they want to sign.

The 25-year-old, who has mostly played as a defensive midfielder this season, is one of Fenerbahce’s most important players. The Turkish side already rejected a bid for him from a French club in January.

Fenerbahce president Ali Koç wants at least £17.1 million for Yuksek this summer. Tottenham can afford that without any trouble.

Yuksek’s dream is to join Manchester United

Just two days before TV100’s report on Ismail Yuksek and Tottenham was released, the Turkish midfielder publicly revealed that he wants to join Manchester United.

The 25-year-old claimed that a move to Old Trafford has been his dream since he was a child.

“The club I would like to go to in Europe is Manchester United. My childhood dream,” he told TRT Spor.

For those who don’t know Yuksek, he made a name for himself after breaking a record while playing for his country last year.

The Turk became ‘the first player to record 15+ duels and 10+ possessions won in a single Euro 2024 qualifier game, winning 16 duels and recovering 12 possessions versus Croatia’ (Opta).
