Semih Kiliscoy has boosted the prospects of Aston Villa, Fulham, Newcastle United, and Tottenham Hotspur, as the 19-year-old is open to moving to the Premier League.
According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Semih Kilicsoy is the subject of several well-known Premier League clubs. Aston Villa, Fulham, Newcastle United, and Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Besiktas prodigy. The 19-year-old has boosted the prospects of those English clubs as he is open to sealing a move to the Premier League.
The rise of Semih Kilicsoy
Semih Kilicsoy has gone from strength to strength since joining Besiktas JK from Arnavutköy Yayla Spor in 2016. The Turk progressed through the ranks at the Super Lig club before breaking into the first-team squad midway through the 2022/23 season.
The 19-year-old has been solid in the first few weeks of the 2024/25 campaign, providing three assists in seven appearances across all competitions. Meanwhile, Kilicsoy’s progress at Besiktas JK has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs across Europe, including Ason Villa, Fulham, Newcastle United, and Tottenham Hotspur.
A man in demand
The Turkish international has been on Aston Villa’s radar for a long time. The West Midlands club mulled over signing the Besiktas prodigy in the summer transfer window before the deal failed to see the light of day. However, Kilicsoy remains a target for Aston Villa, although they face stiff competition from Fulham.
Fulham’s interest in Semih Kilicsoy is understandable. The Cottagers are scouring the market for a versatile attacker, with the Besiktas wonderkid emerging as a target. Meanwhile, Newcastle United will likely part ways with Miguel Almiron next year, thus creating the need for a new wide attacker. Kilicsoy is thus an option worth considering for Newcastle United.
As for Tottenham Hotspur, the North London giants are keen on reinforcing their offensive unit by signing the Turk. Richarlison faces an uncertain future at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after struggling to stamp his authority at the club. Kilicsoy has now boosted the Premier League clubs’ prospects, as he is ready to join an English top-flight outfit.
While Aston Villa, Fulham, Newcastle United, and Tottenham Hotspur will face stiff competition from foreign clubs, they will fancy their prospects, considering the 19-year-old Turkish prodigy is open to joining a Premier League side.
