In a recent report, Turkiye Gazetesi claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are keeping tabs on Besiktas forward Hyeon-gyu Oh. It has been mentioned that Spurs are eyeing a move to bring the South Korean talent to North London this summer.
Oh’s Impressive Form In Turkish Football
Oh has enjoyed a decent run of form at the Turkish club as he has produced a handful of impressive displays for them in the final third. The 25-year-old has found the back of the net 17 times and earned five assists in 42 matches for Besiktas this season across various competitions.
The South Korean talent is currently one of the most prolific strikers in German football. Hence, it is no surprise that Spurs are in the running to land him this off-season.
His current deal at Besiktas will run out in the summer of 2029, which could make it tough for Tottenham to sign him on the cheap later this year.

What Will Oh Add To Tottenham Hotspur Boss Roberto De Zerbi?
Oh is proficient at finding a yard of space for himself to get some strikes in at goal. He has got the vision to engineer some decent chances for his teammates on the offensive end of the field and is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet.
The South Korean sensation can chip in by scoring his fair share of goals in the final third. Oh is primarily a centre-forward but can also fill in as a winger if told to do so by his manager. However, only time will tell whether he can make a smooth transition to life in England.
We can expect Oh to add more firepower to Tottenham boss Robert De Zerbi’s attack. He is more than capable of securing a regular first-team spot at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next season.
At 25, Oh has his peak years ahead of him, which makes him a worthy target for Spurs to consider in the summer transfer window. However, there are some concerns over whether he can cope with the physical side and high intensity of the Premier League if Tottenham manage to snap him up in the summer transfer period.
