According to a report from GMS, the player wants to hold talks regarding a move to the English club. It will be interesting to see if Spurs come forward with an offer.
Benfica will entertain offers in the region of £35 million for the midfielder. The midfielder has impressed in recent seasons, and there is no doubt that he has the technical attributes to do well in the Premier League.
Tottenham need midfield depth
Spurs need a complete central midfielder like him, who will help control the tempo of the game from the deep and add creativity to the side. The Turkish star picked up 12 goals last season and 11 assists as well.
There is no doubt that he would be an excellent addition for Tottenham if they can get the deal across the line. The player is very much at the peak of his powers, and he will look to hit the ground running in the Premier League if the transfer goes through.
The reported asking price seems reasonable for a player of his quality. The midfielder could justify the investment in the long run.
Orkun Kokcu could fancy Spurs move
Spurs have secured Champions League football for the next season, and they will be an attractive destination for players.
The Turkish midfielder has impressed in the FIFA World Cup as well, and he will look to join a big club in future. The move to Spurs could be the ideal opportunity for him. Regular football in England could bring out the best in him and help him fulfil his potential.
Tottenham will be hoping to fight for a place in the top four next year and do well in domestic competitions. Players like Kokcu could help them improve.
