Fenerbahce midfielder Ozan Tufan has attracted a lot of interest from the Premier League over recent weeks.

The latest club to be linked with the Turkish international midfielder is Southampton who are keeping close tabs on the 21-year-old according to AMK.

The report states that Southampton sent scouts to monitor Tufan over Euro 2016 and that they were left impressed by his display.

Tufan became the youngest player to score in Euro 2016 when he found the back of the net in the 2-0 win over the Czech Republic in the final Group D game.

The young midfielder ended the Euro 2016 campaign as – statistically – one of the best players for Turkey according to Opta stats.

Fenerbahce boss Vitor Pereira went as far as describing Tufan’s display over Euro 2016 as reminding him of Manchester City star Yaya Toure.

“He still has a lot to learn and that is my job but the world will soon have a central midfielder on the level of Yaya Toure on their hands,” he said speaking on Sport Tv.

The Fenerbahce midfielder is also being scouted by Sunderland and Everton meanwhile Manchester United are reported to have been keeping tabs on on Tufan throughout the league campaign.

Tufan started in all three games for Turkey over their Euro 2016 campaign and has a total of two goals and one assists in 27 international matches.
