Whilst it is still only October, the rumours surrounding Tottenham signing attackers has not slowed down.

Spurs signed plenty of attackers in the summer, with the likes of Brennan Johnson, Manor Solomon and Alejo Veliz all joining the club.

Johnson and Solomon have picked up injuries in the last few weeks though, with Solomon and Johnson both picking up injuries, with Solomon set to be out for three to four months.

Players have been linked with the likes of former Celtic man Jota, but have now been linked with yet another attacking player.

Accoridng to Turkish outlet Fotomaç, Tottenham have sent scouts to watch Galatasaray star Kerem Aktürkoğlu.

The 24-year-old has been starring for the Turkish giants, scoring five goals and assisting seven times in 16 games so far this season.

It is said that he has attracted attention from Spurs and a number of clubs, including their fierce rivals Arsenal and West Ham United. Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou is said to be keen on the Turk.

Aktürkoğlu currently has a contract that runs until 2026, and is reportedly valued at €17 million.

It is claimed that Tottenham and Arsenal will both be sending scouts to watch him when Galatasaray face Bayern Munich at home in the Champions League on October 24th.

Would Kerem Aktürkoğlu be a good signing?

Aktürkoğlu would certainly be an interesting signing.

Whilst he has excelled out in his homeland of Turkey, it has to be said that the jump from the Turkish Super Lig to the Premier League would be a big jump in quality.

However, he has played very well in the Champions League, even playing in Gala’s 3-2 win away at Manchester United last Tuesday.

It is one to keep an eye on.
