According to a report in Turkiye Gazetesi (as translated by Sport Witness), Besiktas are expected to demand a huge fee from Tottenham for Semih Kilicsoy during the summer.
Kilicsoy has caught the eye since breaking into Besiktas’ first-team at the start of this season, with the centre-forward having found the back of the net eight times in all competitions so far this season.
Tottenham’s interest in the teenager first came to light at the start of this month when Journalist Gokmen Ozcan reported that scouts from the North London club were keeping an eye on the striker.
A couple of weeks ago, A Spor also named Spurs as one of the clubs vying for the youngster’s signature alongside the likes of Aston Villa, Borussia Dortmund, Atlético Madrid and Eintracht Frankfurt.
Besiktas want a lot of money for Spurs target
Turkiye Gazetesi have now become the latest outlet to talk about Spurs’ interest in Kilicsoy, with the report naming the Lilywhites and Dortmund as the main contenders for his signature.
The report adds that the Turkey Under-19 international is now ‘ready’ to make a step up to a bigger division and that Besiktas are expected to evaluate offers for the player.
However, the publication alleges that the Black Eagles will ask the likes of Spurs and Dortmund to part ways with €50m (£42.7m) if they wish to sign the striker.
Spurs Web Opinion
There is no chance that any club would pay more than £25m-£30m for a raw talent like Kilicsoy, who has not even established himself as a regular starter at Besiktas.
Transfer fees will continue to deflate over the next couple of years after the Premier League started punishing clubs who defy the Profit and Sustainability Rules.
