Rumour · This claim is unconfirmed.
From the source
Tottenham Hotspur could face competition from Hull City and Nice for Besiktas defender Emirhan Topcu, with both clubs reportedly interested in signing the Turkish international during the January transfer window.
Spurs were linked with the 26-year-old last month, although there has been no confirmation that the North London club intend to make an offer. A fresh report from Turkey now suggests that Besiktas could have a decision to make over the centre-back’s future in January.
Tottenham are expected to focus much of their attention on strengthening their attack, with five strikers reportedly featuring on their January shortlist. However, that does not necessarily mean the club will ignore opportunities to strengthen elsewhere in the squad.
