Manchester United, Tottenham eye Turkish prospect Serkan Bakan - agent

"....Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are battling to sign 16-year-old Serkan Bakan from Turkish club Gaziantepspor, his agent has told ESPN FC."

The article says that his agent said United and Spurs are 'battling to sign him', but then the actual quotes from the agent just say the clubs have scouted him.

I'd check his birth certificate. Kid looks like he's 12.

Why would anyone purposely make themselves older?

To get into clubs like a boss!

Battling? Like having a pitched battle outside the club offices?

There is no battle, move along guys, nothing to see here.

Delighted with this. Been a massive fan of his for 4/5 years now. Would be a real coup for us.

Same, I've been tracking his progress for over 10 years now and he'd be a fantastic signing. No but on a serious note, I don't think there's been a talented Turkish youngster that hasn't been linked with us in the last 5 years.

Been tracking him for the past 22 years. He is something else.

So why isn't there a 50M bid in from us yet?

I don't know. It's only been 31 years since I've been watching.

We bid 35 Million but Gaziantepspor also want Martial on loan, and a dirty weekend for the chairman in Gary Nevilles hotel.

What?? A media outlet sensationalising? I refuse to believe it.

An offer is being "prepared" as we speak, woody is in the cellar checking the contents of the "war chest". and I am convinced a substantial bid will have been lodged before the window "slams shut"

Sounds like a kebab I'd like to have.

I did see links with both Emre Mor last summer and Under this summer before he went to Roma. Bother very talented players from the little I have seen of them. Confess never heard of Bakan until today. What do you think of Under as in his case, by little, its literally youtube (I know I know) but very impressed.

No we are pretty much always linked. A quick search on google found me these: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...Liverpool-FC-eye-transfer-swoop-Emre-Mor.html and http://www.manchestereveningnews.co...hester-united-transfers-cengiz-under-13234127
I've seen very little of Under tbh, but I remember thinking he was like a quicker version of Januzaj. Talented player, but we have to see how he progresses and develops in a tougher league.
