According to Bulent Timurlenk (as relayed by TV100 and Sport Witness), Galatasaray are considering a shock move for Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur in January.
Bentacur returned from his long injury lay-off two weeks ago and the Uruguayan looked quite tidy off the bench against Crystal Palace and Chelsea, a little less so against Wolves.
The midfielder continues to work his way up to full fitness and Tottenham fans will be hoping that he can soon get back to the kind of level he was displaying prior to his ACL injury.

Galatasaray interested in Bentancur
Bulent Timurlenk have now suggested that Galatasaray wish to add a star player to their squad in January and have set their sights on the Tottenham man.
The report adds that Bentancur is expected to be valued by Spurs at around €40m (£35m) which would be a big stumbling block for the Turkish giants.
It is suggested that the Okan Buruk’s men could thus potentially ask to sign the former Juventus star on a loan deal in January, having built a good relationship with the Tottenham hierarchy on the back of the Davinson Sanchez and Tanguy Ndombele deals in the summer.
Spurs Web Opinion
There is no chance that Tottenham would entertain any offers at all for Bentancur, with Postecoglou making it clear that the Uruguayan is very much part of his plans. So any approach by Galatasaray or any other club for the 26-year-old will be knocked back swiftly by Spurs.
