Should Spurs appoint Slot, he could look to bring Feyenoord captain Kokcu to north London, a player who was previously a target for Arsenal.

That is according to Dutch football expert, Marcel Van der Kraan, who shed light on what the the highly-rated midfielder could bring to Spurs.

“I think he [Slot] will bring in one player in particular and that is the captain Orkun Kokcu, a Turkish international, and only 22 years of age,” he told talkSPORT Drive.

“A youth product, let’s say similar to Phil Foden at Manchester City, a player who everybody is very keen on, only his position is a bit different.

“He is a midfielder, a playmaker, and he has been the driving force in the team over the last two years.

“If I was a top six Premier League club, I would be going for Kokcu, definitely.

“If Spurs get him, it will definitely be worth to watch him and see him grow, he can get better.

“He understands the way this manager wants to play, what he is all about. Very high pressing and attack-minded.”
