Club concerned as Tottenham and Aston Villa visit to observe “talented” striker With Prize Tag Name: “I don’t think we can keep him”
Semih Kılıçsoy of Beşiktaş is being watched by a number of teams, including Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa, according to A Spor.
The 18-year-old, who came up through the Black Eagles’ program, debuted for the first time on the team last year. With eight goals and an assist in 19 games this season, he has been a standout for the Turkish team.
Spurs and Aston Villa have taken notice of his current form, which includes seven goals and an assist in the previous seven games.
Spurs and Unai Emery’s team are reportedly sending scouts to closely monitor the winger while he plays for the Istanbul club, joining Borussia Dortmund, Atletico Madrid, and Eintracht Frankfurt in doing so.
The Turkey U19 international’s contract was extended until 2028 last month. A Spor claims that Beşiktaş will not entertain bids for him to go in the summer that aren’t worth less than €25 million.
Tottenham and Aston Villa are now the only teams keeping an eye on the young player; if he keeps up his current form through the end of the season, they could make a bid.
It is good news for those who are interested that Feyyaz Uçar, a board member of Beşiktaş, has acknowledged that keeping Kılıçsoy on the team for an extended period of time would be challenging.
He will play for Beşiktaş for a very long time, but I don’t think we can keep him. He is among the most gifted Turkish footballers of the last many years. He said, “Vincenzo Montella will also extend an invitation to the national squad,” as reported by Fanatik.
According to the site, Kılıçsoy deliberately asked that his new contract not have a release clause so that Beşiktaş would be able to collect a “maximum fee” in the event that he decides to leave the team.
