Tottenham have reportedly made enquiries into the services of Galatasaray's young star, Bruma, who is understood to be set to leave the club in January.
The 22-year-old has been in fine form in the Turkish Super Lig this season having scored twice, whilst also making three assists.
A host of European clubsare believed to be watching Bruma, with an eye to taking him away from Turkey inthe near future.
However, reports from theFootball insidersuggest that Spurs have made the first move after making an enquiry through a third party, about the prospect of signing the player and his potential wage demands.
As Bruma continues to stall over signing a new deal with Galatasaray, his clubare considering selling him in January so as to maximise their price, with rumours suggesting they value the youngster at £20m.

Bruma has been touted by some to be the next Cristiano Ronaldo, with his electric pace and skill on the ball a particular strength. Spurs are understood to have been scouting the winger since the summer and have watched him play in all six of his appearances this season.
The North London clubare likely to face stiff competition for the 22-year-old's signature though,after his agent Caitio Balde has revealed that several other Premier League teams are also monitoringBruma's situation.
Reports fromSquawkasuggest that Spurs could face direct competition from their fierce rivals Arsenal, who are also keeping tabs on the player.
With Galatasaray looking to maximise Bruma's price, Tottenham could well find themselves in a bidding war. They will hope that making early enquiries into a possible deal will give them an edge in the race sign one of football's brightest prospects.
