Spurs Web Opinion
An attacking midfielder/winger is the last thing that Ange Postecoglou needs right now, with the Spurs boss having plenty of options for those roles at the moment.
Maddison, Kulusevski and Bergvall are all capable of operating as number tens, while the likes of Kulusevski, Johnson, Werner, Odobert, Son, and Moore have the wings covered.

According to recent reports, Aston Villa and Newcastle United are keeping a close eye on Yazici’s situation, as the talented midfielder weighs his options for his next move. However, as things currently stand, Turkish giants Galatasaray are leading the pack in the pursuit of the former Lille star.
Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou is unlikely to be tempted by Yazici’s services, as the Spurs squad is already well-stocked with attacking midfielders and wingers. With the likes of Maddison, Kulusevski, and Bergvall capable of operating as number tens, and a plethora of options including Kulusevski, Johnson, Werner, Odobert, Son, and Moore available for the wing positions, Postecoglou’s priority lies elsewhere.
While Yazici’s skills and experience would undoubtedly be an asset to any team, Tottenham’s current roster makes an attacking midfielder/winger the last thing on Postecoglou’s shopping list. Instead, the Spurs manager may focus on strengthening other areas of the squad to maintain a competitive edge in the Premier League.
