Arsenal and Manchester City emerge as frontrunners in the pursuit of Semih Kilicsoy amidst interest from Tottenham and Manchester United.
According to a report from HITC, Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are all interested in having Semih Kilicsoy in their squad ahead of next season. While the 18-year-old Besiktas striker is on the wishlist of quite a few top clubs across Europe, City and Arsenal are the ones leading the race at this stage.
Kilicsoy has come up the ranks at Besiktas, he was promoted to their first team last summer and has gone from strength to strength since. The teenager has already established himself at the senior level. He has featured in a total of 34 games, 30 of those appearances have come this season where he has found the back of the net on 11 occasions.
10 of those goals have come in his last 17 outings. Kilicsoy’s impressive run hasn’t gone unnoticed. Throughout the course of the ongoing season, he has been scouted by more than 10 Premier League clubs. Everyone who has watched the attacking sensation in action seems to be convinced that he has a very bright future.
English giants to battle it out for Semih Kilicsoy
That is why English giants United, City, Tottenham and Arsenal want him in their squads and they are willing to battle it out for his signature. All these clubs are always on the lookout for young players with huge potential and they feel Kilicsoy could do wonders for them in the long run.
The Red Devils are looking to bring in someone who can support Rasmus Hojlund up top. Meanwhile, Spurs are looking to add more depth to their attack. The 18-year-old striker is capable enough to feature on both flanks which is an added boost for a team like Tottenham.
But, Arsenal and Manchester City are the ones leading the race for his signature. City are always looking for players who can further bolster their squad and they feel the Turkish gem could help them in the near future.
Mikel Arteta is not happy with the output of his strikers and wants to sign a new number. While he is expected to push for a world-class striker, the Gunners could also add Kilicsoy to the mix in the summer. He will provide the much-needed depth and his abilities could come in handy with Arsenal expected to push for all major titles.
