Claims of Arsenal and Tottenham Interest in Galatasaray's Batrakov

Russian midfielder Aleksey Batrakov, who plays for Galatasaray, continues to be on the transfer agenda of European clubs. This time, Arsenal and Tottenham are reported to be interested in the 21-year-old player, whom Galatasaray signed from Lokomotiv Moscow at the start of the season for a transfer fee of 25 million euros.

It is claimed that the two English clubs are closely monitoring the player's development and have had reports prepared on his performance. It was stated that the clubs have assigned scouts to follow Batrakov's matches, and that his performance in the UEFA Champions League in particular has increased this interest.

As interest in the transfer has grown, contract planning at Galatasaray has also come to the fore. It was suggested that the Yellow-Reds may reassess the financial terms of the existing contract in order to keep the player at the club.

The player's agent, Vladimir Kuzmichev, also made statements regarding the status of his contract with Galatasaray.
