Yusuf Akçiçek, who made a name for himself with his performance at Fenerbahçe in a short period, has caught the attention of Tottenham, a team in the English Premier League. Scouts from the English club will watch the 19-year-old Yusuf, who is also on the radar of Bundesliga giants, during the match against Antalyaspor in Kadıköy.
With the arrival of head coach Jose Mourinho at Fenerbahçe, 19-year-old Yusuf Akçiçek, who has started to get playing time in the first team and has made good use of this opportunity, continues to attract the attention of Europe's giants. The latest team that has set its sights on Yusuf is English Premier League club Tottenham.
THEY WILL WATCH IN KADIKÖY
It has been learned that Tottenham's scout teams will watch the 19-year-old defender during the Antalyaspor match to be played in Kadıköy on Sunday, March 2 (Today). Yusuf has also been monitored and watched by Bundesliga teams Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen. The young footballer, who played the full 90 minutes in the Galatasaray derby, managed to catch the attention of many scouts following the big match.
PRAISE FROM MOURINHO
Mourinho stated about Yusuf Akçiçek, "I mentioned it before he started playing. I said that when he plays one day, he will give the best answer on the field. He is reaping the rewards of the work he does every day. But I need to be careful with him. In this football country, people can elevate players as much as they can bring them down," he said.

The young defender, whom head coach Jose Mourinho is very protective of, has spent 715 minutes on the field in these matches.
