Galatasaray vice-president Erden Timur was recently reported in the Turkish media as having travelled to London for transfer talks.
Timur held talks with Tottenham and Brighton during his trip regarding Victor Nelsson, Nicolo Zaniolo and Sacha Boey.
The Galatasaray chief is said to have asked €60m for Nelsson and Zaniolo, but Tottenham’s offer is believed to be significantly lower.
