Tottenham Hotspur have a busy summer ahead of them as Ange Postecoglou looks to bolster his ranks ahead of next season.
Spurs have improved since the 2022/23 campaign, and their future looks bright with Ange Postecoglou at the helm.
However, there is still work to do with regards to improving the overall quality and strength in depth of the Tottenham squad.
Spurs have been linked with a host of great players in recent weeks and, with Euro 2024 in full swing, yet more top talents could emerge as targets.
Indeed, a Turkish football journalist has now spoken about an “unbelievable” player at the tournament that Tottenham have reportedly scouted.
Better still, the player in question has drawn comparisons with Spurs star Son Heung-min.

Tottenham said to have scouted Baris Alper Yilmaz
The player in question is Baris Alper Yilmaz, who plays for Galatasaray and is representing Turkey at Euro 2024.
Ugur Karakullukcu has spoken highly of the 24-year-old on his YouTube channel, highlighting his great dribbling skills.
He also claimed that scouts from Tottenham and Manchester United were present at the recent Czech Republic v Turkey match, specifically watching Yilmaz.
“Baris Alper Yilmaz was an animal,” he said. “How is he so successful at dribbling?
“He gets between 3 people, passes them, throws a feint, goes in. He did the show. It is stupid to talk to Barış Alper in this match, he was unbelievable.
“Manchester United and Tottenham both scouted Baris Alper in the Czechia v Turkey match. I had it confirmed. If he continues like this, it seems that they will continue to watch it.”
Who is Tottenham target Baris Alper Yilmaz?
Baris Alper Yilmaz is a 24-year-old professional footballer who plies his trade for Turkish giants Galatasaray and represents Turkey at international level.
His entire career to date has been spent in Turkey. He played for Rize Ol, Ankara Demir and Ankara Keciorenguru before joining Galatasaray in the summer of 2021.
