Tottenham have joined the chase for Ferdi Kadioglu and will rival Arsenal for the versatile full-back, with Fenerbahce expected to sell.
According to HITC, Tottenham are now ready to rival Arsenal for the signature of versatile full-back Ferdi Kadioglu. The 24-year-old Dutch-born utility man has been having an impressive season with title-chasing Fenerbahce but could soon find himself playing in the Premier League.
Tottenham, Arsenal tussle for Ferdi Kadioglu
In this realm of top-notch managers who are looking for marginal gains on the pitch, a versatile player is currently the most valued commodity in the market. Many top-level coaches seek players who can offer just more than their primary position.
Arsenal, Tottenham and a host of Premier League giants are constantly looking at profiles that bring more to the table. Fenerbahce’s Ferdi Kadioglu has been in the news for a few months now as some of the top English sides are now looking at the 24-year-old Dutch-born utility man.
Kadioglu can play in both full-back positions while having the ability to slot into central midfield. He offers a bitey presence in either defensive zone, which makes him an exciting option for those clubs chasing his signature. Arsenal had an interest around January, although the Gunners have continued to scout him and might keep doing it until the season concludes.
Tottenham have now joined the Gunners in the hunt for the 24-year-old Dutch-born utility man. Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou dramatically values the role of a full-back, particularly those who can invert into the midfield. Kadioglou certainly offers those traits, which could see the Australian sanction a pursuit for the Turkish international.
There are more big clubs chasing Kadioglu
Arsenal and Tottenham are solid suitors, but there are others in the hunt as Manchester City and Liverpool have also considered moves for the 24-year-old Fenerbahce man. The Premier League clubs have looked at different full-back options and will certainly put the money on the table for a versatile quality like Kadioglu.
Fenerbahce are ready to sell the defender should an offer reasonable to their request arrive in the summer. Around January, the Turkish giants sought somewhere close to £17 million, as per the report, and that might have stayed the same, meaning the likes of Tottenham and Arsenal will undoubtedly make their move.
