Fenerbahce rejected all offers for the 1.94m tall striker over the winter transfer window but a summer sale could be on the cards.

Turkish-Football reported that Tottenham scouted his first six-games of the season and that they are still keeping tabs on his development.

The Fenerbahce ace still has another three-years remaining on his contract after joining from Rizespor this summer.

Muriqi has 13 goals and five assists in 21 games in all competitions for Fenerbahce this season.
