TBR Football understands that one of Tottenham Hotspur’s transfer targets is considering a ‘very good’ contract offer from a club abroad.
Tottenham Hotspur have just had a crazy week in the transfer window, with Mohammed Kudus signing and a deal for Morgan Gibbs-White coming close.
As exclusively revealed by TBR Football, Gibbs-White still expects to join Tottenham, despite Nottingham Forest being unhappy at the situation.
However, a player whom they’d opened talks to sign is now considering an offer from elsewhere, in what could be a slight blow to their transfer plans.
Sources: Kyle Walker-Peters has ‘very good offer’ from Besiktas
TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey can confirm that Kyle Walker-Peters has received a ‘very good offer’ from Besiktas.
The defender is now considering the contract offer, which is believed to be better than anything from England. Walker-Peters left Southampton after his contract expired and is a free agent.
The Lilywhites sold the defender to the Saints back in 2020 in a deal worth around £12 million, and he went on to make over 200 appearances for them.
As TBR Football reported, Tottenham had talks with Walker-Peters about a return move to North London, but these talks did not progress.
Spurs added the 28-year-old to their transfer plans with the need for cover at full-back, and also with him counting as club-trained in the Champions League.
The North London club are going to face possible issues with registering everyone they’d want in their squad for Europe next season. Walker-Peters, who was called ‘extraordinary’, is now looking less likely to happen with a move to Turkey on the cards.
Sources: Dennis Cirkin could be Tottenham’s alternative option
TBR Football revealed earlier this month that Tottenham were also in talks to sign Dennis Cirkin, who was being considered as an option for the full-back area.
The 23-year-old has had several impressive seasons with Sunderland in the Championship, and he is finally set to become a Premier League player.
But, it might not be for the Black Cats with Spurs thinking about bringing him back to N17, four years on from selling him.
Jose Mourinho praised Cirkin back in 2019, when he called the Tottenham academy star a ‘quality’ young player and expressed his excitement to work with him at some stage.
Mourinho told the media: “I couldn’t be at the game, but I watched on video our youth team playing in the [UEFA Youth League], and we also have [Dennis Cirkin].
“OK, he’s 17, but he’s a kid with a lot of quality, and I look forward to bringing him to train with us, and to help his development.”
