Turkish source Sporx has claimed that Tottenham and West Ham are among the clubs that are interested in signing Galatasaray midfielder Papa Badou Ndiaye.

The two London clubs as well as Newcastle United and Leicester City have been reported to have sent scouts to watch the player in action during the weekend.

The 27 year old has developed a reputation for being a goal scoring midfielder after scoring 17 goals from 61 appearances in all competitions during his time with Osmanlispor between 2015 and 2017.

He moved to Galatasaray for a fee of €7.5 million during the summer transfer window and has yet to score his first goal for the club.

Though he has not been at the club for long, Galatasaray could have a good opportunity to cash in on the player given that there is interest from the Premier League. It remains to be seen if any of the clubs will follow through with an offer.
