Tottenham Hotspur Transfer News: Latest Rumours on Bruma and Patrik Schick

Galatasaray have denied reports that they have agreed a deal to sell Bruma to Tottenham Hotspur this summer.

According to a story from Eren Sarigul of Turkish Football, the Premier League side have had an offer of £12.5 million accepted for the winger, who is having a tremendous campaign. However, as relayed by ESPN FC's Dan Kilpatrick, the Turkish giants have released a statement in which they deny that's the case:

As noted by the initial report, it's suggested that the fee agreed is not yet official and the 22-year-old has yet to discuss personal terms with the club.

Bruma is said to be hoping to earn a move to the Premier League in the summer, with just one year remaining on his contract in Istanbul. Galatasaray are noted to be unwilling to match his contract demands, meaning a switch at the end of the campaign is on the cards.

If a team were able to snap up the Portugal youth international for the aforementioned fee, he would represent a coup. As we can see here, Bruma can be a force in the final third:

Indeed, prior to this campaign the winger was notoriously inconsistent, regularly working fine positions with his pace and power before making a bad decision.

But with regular game time at Galatasaray, he has improved this term. In the Turkish top flight, he has scored eight goals and laid on six assists for team-mates. Per WhoScored.com, he's a difficult man to contain, too:

There are still areas of his game that need to be improved, most notably in terms of his defensive contribution. Bruma is a player who has occasionally also lost his temper in the past.

With that in mind, a manager like Mauricio Pochettino would be perfect for the winger. Not only has the Tottenham boss added fitness and intensity to all members of his squad, he's helped enrich the attacking output of forward players. Bruma is a man with plenty of attributes to harness.

Patrik Schick Release Clause

According to Tuttosport (h/t Lucas Sposito of Sport Witness), Tottenham would be able to snap up Sampdoria star Patrik Schick for €25 million (£21 million) this summer due to a release clause in his contract.

As noted in the piece, Spurs are said to be one of a number of clubs tracking the 21-year-old, with Arsenal, Juventus, Inter Milan, Napoli and AC Milan noted as potential suitors. However, the aforementioned fee is said to make the player more viable for Premier League sides.

Schick has enjoyed a fantastic debut term in the Italian top flight, impressing with nine goals and an assist. Here's a look at what he's all about:

The Czech Republic international has primarily been used as a substitute by Sampdoria, starting just eight games and being introduced into 18. And while there are capricious facets to his football, the youngster has shown plenty of natural talent meshed with an appetite for physical battles.

As Football Italia relayed recently, Schick has been recognised as the brightest prospect from his country:

Spurs could do with more options in the final third to support Harry Kane, especially with the jury still out on Vincent Janssen at White Hart Lane. Schick is a natural centre-forward, too.

He may not be ready to start games in the Premier League yet, but Schick is another player with the qualities needed to be a big hit in English football eventually. However, Spurs look as though they will have some stiff competition for his signature.
