Tottenham Hotspur 'to send scouts to watch Fenerbahce captain'

Tottenham Hotspur will reportedly have scouts in attendance for this weekend's Istanbul derby between Fenerbahce and Galatasaray to watch Ozan Tufan.

The 24-year-old, who currently has the captain's armband for Fenerbahce, has scored twice and registered five assists in 22 league appearances during the 2019-20 campaign.

According to Fanatik, Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has instructed scouts to travel to Turkey on Sunday to watch Tufan in action against Galatasaray.

The report claims that Everton also plan to watch the midfielder ahead of a potential move for the Turkey international during this summer's transfer window.

Tufan only signed a new deal with Ersun Yanal's side in December and is contracted to his Super Lig club until the end of the 2022-23 campaign.

Spurs will be looking to bounce back from Wednesday's 1-0 loss to RB Leipzig in the Champions League when they travel to Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
