Tottenham Hotspur remain active in the transfer market as Roberto De Zerbi looks to strengthen his squad before the new Premier League season.
Spurs have already invested heavily this summer. But the club are still looking to add more quality in wide areas before the transfer window closes.
The North London side want greater competition in attack after reshaping several areas of the squad.
A new winger is among their priorities, and the club have now identified another option from the Turkish Super Lig.
According to Turkiye Gazetesi, Tottenham Hotspur are preparing to step up their interest in Baris Alper Yilmaz.
Galatasaray expect Spurs and Everton to turn their initial enquiries into official offers in the coming days.
The Turkish club have placed a minimum asking price of €50 million on the 26-year-old and are not expected to negotiate below that figure.
The report claims both Premier League clubs could begin formal talks soon, with Galatasaray hoping the transfer will be completed within the next 10 days.
If Yilmaz leaves, 20 percent of the transfer fee will go to his former club, Ankara Keciorengucu. Galatasaray are already preparing for life without the Turkey international.
The club have made significant progress in talks to sign Rafael Leao from AC Milan as his replacement. They are also continuing their efforts to land Can Uzun from Eintracht Frankfurt.
Yilmaz reportedly wants to fulfil his ambition of playing in the Premier League after staying at Galatasaray through last summer’s transfer window.
He has left the final decision to the club while waiting for negotiations to develop. For Tottenham, the winger could become another major addition before the season starts.
However, Everton also remain firmly in the race. So, it means Spurs may have to move quickly if they want to secure the €50 million-rated attacker.
