According to reports in the Turkish press and quotes from the player's agent, Tottenham have opened talks to sign Galatasaray's star man Arda Turan.
The talented winger has been a long-term target for both Arsenal and Spurs in recent seasons but with Arsene Wenger's interest waning, it would seem Harry Redknapp is at the head of the queue. However, Spurs are not the only top Premier League club thought to be tracking the star as Roy Hodgson has identified the flying winger as a priority signing for Liverpool and the player himself has often spoke of his desire to move to Anfield.
Turan's agent Ahmet Bulut declared: "At the moment I have had no contact, unofficial or official from Arsenal or Arsene Wenger. Regarding Tottenham Hotspur there was a small enquiry regarding the player, but I have had no official contact or an official bid for the player.
"So, at the moment Arda has two years left on his contract at Gala. And, we are waiting for an official bid for Arda from Tottenham. We will see."
