Arsenal and Tottenham are said to be among the clubs interested in signing Galatasaray winger Kerem Akturkoglu, but the Gunners are reportedly planning to open negotiations with the Turkish club as soon as the season finishes.
After Spanish giant Atletico Madrid and French side Lyon sent scouts to follow the 23-year-old footballer to matches against Beşiktaş and Barcelona last month, the two Premier League clubs also entered the race as likely suitors, reported Turkish language daily Akşam, via Daily Sabah.
Galatasaray executive Isitan Gun confirmed that much when he admitted a clear interest in the winger: "Kerem Akturkoglu had a very good season last year and is one of our best players this year season," he said. It's too early, but two Premier League teams and some La Liga teams have already expressed their interest in Kerem Akturkoglu."
