Spurs keen on Ousmane Diabate
They need more depth in the middle of the park, and Diabate could be a very useful player for them. He is a young player with a lot of potential, and they could groom him into a first-team player in the near future. The opportunity to play for the Premier League club will be exciting for the youngster as well.
He is highly rated at Genclerbirligi, but the Turkish outfit will be under pressure to sell him if Tottenham makes a concrete proposal. The midfielder is likely to be tempted to join them.

Diabate could be a future asset
If Tottenham can sign him for a reasonable amount of money, the deal could prove to be a solid investment for the future. He could justify the outlay in the coming months, and he’s likely to improve with coaching and experience.
Tottenham have done well to improve their midfield this summer with the signings of Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali. They have spent a substantial amount of money on both players.
It remains to be seen whether they can improve the attacking unit before the window closes. They had a disappointing season last year, and they need to improve the team in order to bounce back. Adding more goals and creativity in the final thought should be a priority between now and the end of the window.
