Ange Postecoglou, the manager of Tottenham Hotspur, has been a revelation since he took over the club eight games into the Premier League season. However, he already seems to have his sights set on the upcoming winter transfer window.
Even though Spurs underwent a lot of changes last summer, including the sale of Harry Kane to Bayern Munich in August, there is still opportunity for advancement.
In light of this, it’s possible that the current rumors tying the London club to a talented up-and-comer, who would undoubtedly add a fresh angle to the assault, are true.
What are the newest transfer rumors involving Tottenham?
Tottenham are interested in acquiring 24-year-old winger Kerem Akturkoglu, who won the Turkish Super Lig with Galatasaray last season, according to sources in Turkey earlier this week, which were carried by The Sun. Akturkoglu, a £15 million player who goes by the moniker “Harry Potter,” is a quick-footed and energetic player who plays mostly on the left wing.
According to journalist Haldun Domac, West Ham United has also expressed interest in him, while Liverpool has long admired his abilities.
Kerem Akturkoglu, who is he?
October 3rd, Old Trafford. With their recent historic 3-2 win over Manchester United, Galatasaray has moved four points ahead of Erik ten Hag’s team in the Champions League standings. After 71 minutes, Akturkoglu equalized the score after being “very impressive” throughout the game, according to journalist Samuel Luckhurst.
The 23-cap Turkey international has totaled five goals and seven assists this season across all competitions, earning him the moniker “assist king” for his inventiveness.
Due to Richarlison’s direct style of play and two goals and two assists this season, he would present a different kind of threat to Tottenham’s offensive left channel.
It might be a wise option, especially with Manor Solomon out indefinitely after having surgery for a knee injury, as Akturkoglu has already proven his talent against big Premier League teams. In fact, the Galatasaray player is surpassing his Brazilian rival in a number of significant indicators, which might compel Postecoglou to make a transfer bid and improve his team’s chances of realizing their high-calibre seasonal goals.
Tony Cascarino’s comments that the Spurs’ mercurial forward has been a “joke” are supported by the fact that Akturkoglu is outscoring Richarlison while taking considerably fewer shots than the latter, as shown by the table.
Richarlison, who struggled after joining Tottenham from Everton in a £60 million trade and scoring only one Premier League goal all season, is undoubtedly getting better, but he’s far from securing an unwavering starting position.
Akturkoglu would take a completely different approach, and Heung-min Son, the club’s center forward, may benefit greatly from his creative flair given that he has scored six goals in his previous five Premier League games.
While Richarlison will be optimistic in regaining his prior energy this season, signing Galatasaray’s shining gem would be a significant declaration of ambition for a Tottenham club poised to reach new heights.
