Fulham are reportedly keen on signing 18-year-old Besiktas striker Semih Kilicsoy and have held preliminary talks with the Turkish club.
According to Sports Digitale, Fulham have held preliminary talks with Besiktas officials to sign their highly-rated striker Semih Kilicsoy in the summer transfer window.
The 18-year-old Turkish wonderkid is highly rated across Europe, with several high-profile clubs setting their sights on him, and he has a big future ahead of him. He could prove to be a quality long-term investment for Fulham, and they would do well to secure his services for a reasonable price this summer.
It is no secret that Fulham will need to bring in a quality attacker at the end of the season. While the 18-year-old might not be ready to make an immediate impact in the Premier League, he could still be a very useful player for them.
Tottenham also keen on Kilicsoy
Semih Kilicsoy has been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur in recent months as well. The North London club are keeping tabs on his development, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to come forward with an offer to sign him in the summer.
They will need to bring in a quality attacker at the end end of the season. Spurs chose not to replace Harry Kane last summer, but they have missed a reliable goalscorer. Although the 18-year-old is not ready to lead the line for them yet, Tottenham could develop him into a key player for the club.
Semih Kilicsoy has made his mark in the Turkish Super Lig with Besiktas this season, and he has 11 goals in all competitions. His numbers are likely to improve when he is playing in a better team alongside players with more service.
The opportunity to move to the Premier League will be an attractive proposition for the young striker, and the likes of Fulham and Tottenham will be exciting destinations for him. It will be interesting to see where he ends up eventually. Both clubs have the financial muscle to get the deal done, and whoever ends up signing him will have a top-class prospect on their hands.
