Turkey international a wanted man ahead of January
Galatasaray’s Baris Alper Yilmaz has emerged as one of the best players in the Turkish top-flight over the last few years and has also shone on the international stage.
A move to one of Europe’s top leagues looks imminent for the versatile wide-forward, with TBR Football explaining that Tottenham are one of the clubs eyeing a move for the 24-year-old.
In fact, the outlet claims that Spurs, along with several of their Premier League rivals, scouted the attacker over the weekend as the Super Lig champions overcame Sivasspor.
Baris Alper Yilmaz picks up an injury
However, the evening did not end well for Yilmaz, who was reportedly forced off with an injury late on, with his knee appearing to have buckled after being on the end of a clumsy challenge.
TBR Football reveal that the Turkey international was stretchered off and that there were initially fears that he had suffered an ACL injury.
The report explains that if that had been the case, that would have put a potential £25m switch to the Premier League in January in major doubt as such an injury would keep the attacker out of action until next season.
