European team plans late transfer for versatile Tottenham player worth £8.5m

Tottenham Hotspur defender Ben Davies has been linked with a move away from the north London club in recent weeks.

It appears that Turkish club Galatasaray are willing to offer him an exit route. According to a report from Takvim, they are looking to add depth to their defence and have identified the 31-year-old Welsh international as a potential target.

The defender is reportedly valued at €10 million (£8.5 million) and it remains to be seen whether the Turkish giants are prepared to pay. It is a reasonable amount to pay for a player of his quality and experience.

Davies will provide cover at left back and in the central defensive areas. He has shown his quality in the Premier League in recent years and there is no doubt that he can also be a good addition to the Turkish club.

A move to Turkey could be ideal for Davies at this stage of his career. He needs to play regularly and Galatasaray can provide him with that platform. He is unlikely to start games for Tottenham this season and it would be ideal for him to move on. The transfer window in Turkey closes on September 13 and the Turkish side hope to complete a deal before then.

Ben Davies could be available for a token price

Tottenham are unlikely to demand a premium for a surplus player and Galatsaray should take advantage of the situation and secure his signature. Although 31, Davies still has a few years at the top level and could be a very useful player for the Turkish club in the coming seasons.

A move to Turkey is an exciting challenge for the experienced defender at this stage of his career, as he looks to prove himself in a foreign league.
