Zeki Çelik’s performances for Lille last season drew attention from clubs across Europe, including Tottenham Hotspur.
The north London club had identified the right-back as one of their targets, but were not able to take him away from the Ligue 1 side.
Spurs haven’t forgotten the 24-year-old, if a latest report from TuttoMercatoWeb is to be believed.
AS Roma are in the market looking for a new fullback and the idea to sign the Turkey international is ‘back in fashion’. The Serie A side will face competition because ‘requests and surveys’ for the defender ‘do not stop’.
TMW say that ‘in recent days’, claims have ‘emerged strongly’ about ‘interest’ from Atlético Madrid, and from the clubs who followed him in the summer, like Fiorentina and Tottenham.
Çelik’s contract runs down in 2023 and there is nothing to suggest if either the player or Lille are in favour of a transfer in January.
