Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City scout Semih Kilicoy

A host of Premier League clubs are set to scout young Turkish talent Semih Kilicoy at the Euros, as he is a part of the national squad. 

According to Sabah via Sport Witness, Semih Kilicoy’s suitors from the Premier League are eager to watch the player closely in action at the eEuros. Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester City are among the teams keen on the Besiktas teenager, with a move likely to be on the cards this summer. 

Premier League scouts set to watch Semih Kilicoy

Semih Kilicoy has put himself on the list of some big Premier League sides looking for a young striker in the summer after his 12-goal season with Besiktas. He has been one of the best-emerging talents coming out of Turkey in the past campaign, as a host of English sides are keen to take a closer look at him. 

To their luck, Kilicoy was selected as part of the Turkish squad for Euro 2024 and might get some important minutes as the tournament progresses. He did not feature in their opening game against Georgia, given how tight it was right until the end, although he could get his chances going forward. 

Manchester City, Tottenham and Arsenal are keen, while Tottenham are also in the race, as these are the teams eager to recruit a young striker in the summer. The teenager will be flattered by the interest, and these clubs are now keen to watch him closely at the Euros, hoping that Vincenzo Montella hands him some valuable minutes. 

His agent recently confirmed the interest of at least Manchester City and Arsenal, among others, but insisted nothing has been advancing in terms of talks or discussions about a transfer. 

“I know that clubs such as Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Arsenal, PSG, Monaco, Bayer Leverkusen and Stuttgart are watching Semih. We received information about this. But it has not reached the offer stage. At least, there is no offer that has reached us,” said Kılıçsoy’s agent.

Premier League interest explained

Arsenal missed out on Benjamin Sesko as it became clearer that Mikel Arteta is now looking to develop a young striker rather than buy a readymade product in the market. Manchester City are always on the lookout for breakthrough talents and will have Kilicoy Hogh on their list. 

Tottenham had enquired briefly about Kilicoy alongside other clubs and could show interest. However, Spurs have some key young attackers in their group, and while investing in another such star may seem appealing, they are in need of a more readymade and experienced striker in this market.
