Tottenham Hotspur are in the race to sign Juventus winger Kenan Yildiz, who is one of the most highly sought-after players in Europe right now.
The winger has been enjoying a great season in Serie A this year, with seven goals and four assists despite Juventus’ struggles.
Prove us wrong: Kenan Yildiz would be the best player Tottenham could sign in January…
Currently, the 20-year-old’s future is up in the air, with several European giants monitoring his contract situation in Turin.
Spurs are now believed to be among the team who are looking at the youngster and could make an audacious bid to land him.
Tottenham admire Juventus winger Kenan Yildiz
Tottenham Hotspur are believed to be keen admirers of Juventus winger Kenan Yildiz during the January transfer window, according to Dean Jones.
One of the priorities this month for the North London club is to sign another attacker, given the limited options available to Thomas Frank.
Following the sale of Brennan Johnson to Crystal Palace and Mohammed Kudus’ injury, Spurs are ready to accelerate plans to sign a wide attacker.

Tottenham are expected to make an ‘exciting’ attacking signing, and that certainly would be the case if they could bring Yildiz to North London.
However, Spurs face strong competition to get him from other clubs, but also Juventus, who still believe he will sign a new deal with them.
💷 Hypothetically, Tottenham give you £100m to spend in January, who are you signing?
Fabio Paratici should make it his mission to bring the Turkish international to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, in what would be the perfect parting gift from the Italian.
The Italian director has previously signed several former Juventus players, including Cristian Romero, Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur.
Paratici leaves Tottenham at the end of January, despite having only just made his return to the club following a 30-month ban.
Maghnes Akliouche is expected to leave AS Monaco
Maghnes Akliouche, who is another Tottenham target, is expected to leave AS Monaco either in January or next summer, according to Alasdair Gold.
The French club have already started preparing for his departure by looking at replacements, which could boost Spurs’ hopes of landing him now.
“I mean, only going off the Monaco game and obviously what we’ve seen of him kind of over the last couple of seasons, he just looks a brilliant talent. It’s such a talent,” Gold told Talking Tottenham Podcast.
“From what I understand from people who know Monaco inside out and the French market as well is that Monaco are looking for potential replacements for him because they do fear that they’ll, if they’re not going to lose him this month, they’ll lose him in the summer.”
