Ismail Yuksek has emerged on the radar of Newcastle United, Aston Villa, and Tottenham Hotspur, who have been watching the midfielder.
According to Sabah via Sport Witness, Ismail Yuksek has been watched by some of the major English clubs ahead of the summer. The midfielder has impressed for Fenerbahce this season, which has led to Newcastle United, Aston Villa and Tottenham keeping close tabs on his availability.
Ismail Yuksenk on Premier League radar
Fenerbahce will certainly look forward to making the best use of the transfer window by selling some of their top performers for a good profit. The Turkish side has one player they feel they can fetch a considerable fee, especially with a host of Premier League sides keen.
Ismail Yuksek, the Fenerbahce midfielder, has come into the spotlight for his performances this season. While he can play in a central box-to-box role, he can also play attacking midfield if needed. However, he has featured predominantly as a defensive midfielder this season, making 44 appearances this season in all competitions.
Aston Villa are one of the sides keen, while Tottenham have maintained an interest. Newcastle United have also expressed a desire to recruit him, with the Premier League trio watching him in action recently. The presence of scouts from these clubs indicates that these teams might make a move in the summer.
Villa might look to recruit, especially if they end up losing Douglas Luiz, for whom they are planning on opening contract talks. Newcastle United might also end up losing Bruno Guimaraes and even Joelinton, meaning they need new midfielders. Tottenham could look at him as a replacement for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who is destined to leave the club in the close season.
Fenerbahce will not sell Yuksek cheaply
Fenerbahce are aware of the lack of big chances to make money off player sales, and that might apply even for Yuksek. The 25-year-old midfielder still has a contract until 2027, meaning the Turkish club does not need to sell on the cheap and could demand a sizeable fee in return.
Wile Fenerbahce have not named their price so far, their asking rate might come in the range of those Premier League sides interested.
