Turkish club Galatasaray have Tottenham Hotspur’s Japhet Tanganga on their radar
Journalist Mike McGrath of The Telegraph has provided the latest on Tottenham Hotspur defender, Japhet Tanganga. The piece mentions that the player could leave on loan this summer. Turkish club Galatasaray have made an offer to Tottenham for the services of Tanganga on a season-long deal.
