Zeki Celik has really caught the eye with his top-level performances at Lille this season and according to the Evening Standard, as many as three Premier League clubs are interested in signing the right-back.
The report claims: “Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham have all shown interest in Lille right-back Zeki Celik.
“The 24-year-old has enjoyed a good season with Lille, helping them win Ligue 1, and he is expected to be on the move this summer.
“Celik, who has two years left on his current contract, is valued at around €15million (£13m) and Arsenal, Manchester United and Spurs are all monitoring his situation.
“The Turkey international, who will be playing at Euro 2020 this summer, would be willing to listen to offers from all three clubs and he is also understood to be on the radar of clubs in Europe.”
Will Zeki Celik be playing in the Premier League next season?
Zeki Celik has played in 29 Ligue 1 games for Lille this season and he was a key figure in the club’s quest to becoming the French first division champions.
Arsenal, Spurs and Manchester United are all actively looking for a right-back this summer but amongst the three, the North London clubs are more eager to get their hands on the 24-year-old.
Ole is ideally looking for a backup to Aaron Wan-Bissaka so we don’t think Zeki Celik will be too eager to join Man United next season and become a bench warmer at the club.
Arsenal though are losing Hector Bellerin so someone like Zeki Celik could come in and automatically become the first-choice right-back at the club next season.

Tottenham are also expected to offload Serge Aurier this summer but they do have Matt Doherty amongst their ranks so we are not sure how they will convince the Lille man to come onboard.
The Turkish international is currently valued at £18 million but he still has two more years left on his current deal with Lille so the French club could ask anywhere between £25-35 million for the right-back.
Lille bought him from Istanbulspor for just £2.25 million so ideally, the Ligue 1 side are going to make a huge profit if one of these three Premier League sides agree to sign Zeki Celik this summer.
