Tottenham Hotspur are eyeing a move for exciting Paris Saint-Germain transfer target and Fenerbache's rising star Arda Guler, according to reports.
The Lowdown: Paratici's transfer plans at Spurs...
Spurs' sporting director Fabio Paratici has been tipped with potential moves ahead of the January transfer window as the north Londoners plot to strengthen Antonio Conte's options.
Tottenham find themselves chasing Champions League qualification for the second successive season after their top-four Premier League finish last term.
The likes of Denzel Dumfries and Ruslan Malinovskyi are just two names reportedly on the radar of Paratici, with new targets also emerging on a regular basis.
The Latest: Tottenham eyeing Guler...
As per reports from Italy, it appears that yet another player has attracted Spurs' interest with 2023 fast approaching. This time, Fenerbache prodigy Guler is at the centre of discussion, who is also in the minds of European heavyweights Napoli and PSG.
Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli explain (via Tutto Napoli) that the Serie A side could think of moving for the 17-year-old, who 'tickles the palate' of both Spurs and Christophe Galtier's side.
Indeed, it appears that the north Londoners are now tempted by Guler, who is slowly building a glowing reputation abroad, and the report adds that 'many experts say it would be a coup'.

The Verdict: Exciting proposition...
Judging by his exploits in the Turkish Super Lig, the midfielder certainly looks like an exciting proposition.
As per WhoScored, Guler finished 2021/22 as Fenerbache's sixth-best player by average match rating despite still only being a teenager.
He averaged an impressive 90.8% pass accuracy over 12 league appearances whilst also chipping in with three goals and three assists in that time.
Hailed as the 'new star' of his country by members of the media, he may well be one to watch, and it's clear why Spurs have taken an interest in the 17-year-old.
