‘Brilliant’: Tottenham offered player for a potential swap deal
Tottenham offered free agent who was brilliant last season
Man United and Tottenham are among numerous Premier League clubs in the race to sign Turkey international Yusuf Yazici.
The Premier League rivals have been offered the chance to sign Yazici, who is currently a free agent after his Lille deal expired in July.
Sources have told Football Insider that Newcastle United and Aston Villa are also among the clubs monitoring this situation as teams begin to dip into the free-agent market.
The 27-year-old has been unable to secure a new club in the past three months, but there is said to be plenty of interest in his services.
The midfielder made 42 appearances for Lille last season in all competitions, scoring 12 goals and providing four assists.
Despite interest in Yaczici from the Premier League, it is believed to be Galatasaray that are leading the race to sign him.
Man United could bolster their midfield with Yusuf Yazici
Man United sold Scott McTominay at the end of the summer transfer window and area dealing with an injury to Mason Mount which has depleted Erik ten Hag’s options in the middle of the pitch.
Picking up Yazici on a free transfer could be the answer to his problems in that area of the field, as he could provide some competition to the current squad.
The Turkish midfielder has proven himself to be a goal threat throughout his career, scoring 64 times in 267 appearances.
Man United might be considering signing a player after the deadline day has closed, but they are also contemplating letting one more leave.
Turkish giants Galatasaray are looking to sign Casemiro on a season-long loan move following his disappointing performance against Liverpool last weekend.
