Yusuf Akçiçek, a promising 19-year-old defender, has caught the attention of several major European clubs following his impressive performances for both Fenerbahçe and the national team. Among the interested parties is the English club Tottenham, whose representatives attended a match between Fenerbahçe and Rangers in Scotland. It is reported that Fenerbahçe has set a transfer fee of 40 million Euros for Akçiçek and is not willing to entertain offers below this figure. His contract with the Turkish club extends until 2028, and it is anticipated that clubs will make formal approaches to Fenerbahçe at the conclusion of the season.

Tottenham sent scouts to watch Yusuf Akcicek in action for Fenerbahce. However, he was left on the bench by Jose Mourinho during the match against Antalyaspor. Despite this, Tottenham are likely to continue their interest in Akcicek as they seek to address their defensive injury crisis.
