da realsbet: Turkey international Zeki Celik would be an upgrade on Serge Aurier and Tottenham Hotspur should make their move, according to Get French Football News’ Adam White.
da pixbet: New Spurs head coach Nuno Espirito Santo will be looking to strengthen his defensive options following a disappointing campaign which saw the north Londoners finish seventh in the Premier League standings and make do with a Europa Conference League spot.
Aurier and Matt Doherty, who joined from Wolverhampton Wanderers last summer, both struggled to make the right-back position their own.
Celik, who featured for Turkey as his country disappointed at Euro 2020, has been linked with a move to the Premier League, with Spurs, Arsenal and Manchester United all said to be interested.
The 24-year-old made 35 appearances and played a key role as Lille upset the odds by beating Paris Saint-Germain to the Ligue One title.
White believes Nuno should make signing Celik a priority if he wants to succeed at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
He exclusively told Football FanCast: “He would definitely be an upgrade on Aurier. I have many questions over Aurier’s ability. Seeing him at PSG, I always thought he was a penalty waiting to happen. Celik would be an upgrade at both ends of the pitch, to be honest.”
