Transfer Talk - Spurs tracking Irfan Can Kehveci
Transfer Talk - Spurs tracking Irfan Can Kehveci
Welcome to THBN Tottenham Transfer Talk this evening with a little informed snippet you won't see elsewhere.
Tottenham were offered Philippe Coutinho on loan by Barcelona but while Spurs looked into the possibility, his wages are simply too high to entertain in the current uncertain economic climate.
Daniel Levy DID NOT make a loan offer, the offer was made to him but he received abuse for it on Twitter, which has become a platform of abuse and hate campaigns.
As regular readers know I give occasional snippets, usually during transfer windows,of news the media and Twitter accounts are not privy to.
Last summer I was spot on, insisting who we would sign and for what amounts, while all the ill informed were casting doom and gloom.
THBN readers just stayed calm knowing what was going to happen and why it seemed to be taking such a long time.

This current pandemic causes difficulties but let me pass on to you one player we have checked the data on and have been monitoring via video. There are various scouting tools where this can easily be achieved.
We have sent scouts over to Turkey and they have attended games that Irfan Can Kehveci has been playing in.
Who is Irfan Can Kehveci?
Irfan Can Kehveci is a 24-year-old (25 in July) Turkish international central midfielder for Istanbul Basaksehir in the Turkish Super Lig.
He has been capped 14 times at senior level for his country and has started 85% of his clubs league games this season.
Kehveci has played 79% of minutes available in the league scoring 4 goals and having 2 assists while picking up 5 yellow cards and one second yellow card.
Wanted by ace talent spotter Monchi at Sevilla, he is left-footed, can play as an attacking midfielder or a winger.
Istanbul Basaksehir signed him in June 2017 and he extended his contract in Nov 2019 until 2024. He will therefore have full market value, but could still be relatively cheap, not yet having played in one of the five major leagues in Europe.
How does Irfan Can Kehveci compare to Tanguy Ndombélé?
