According to the Daily Mail, Premier League teams Tottenham Hotspur and Brentford are continuing talks to add Gençlerbirliği midfielder Ousmane Diabate to their squads, with Brentford currently appearing to be ahead in the effort to sign the player. Diabate is expected to be transferable for around £3 million plus bonuses.

According to the Daily Mail’s transfer blog, talks have already been held over a potential move to north London for Ousmane Diabate. Tottenham are reportedly competing with Premier League rivals Brentford over a move for the player. It is claimed that an offer of £3 million (€3.5m / $4m) plus bonuses will be enough to complete the deal for Ousmane Diabate this summer.

Tottenham Hotspur is closely monitoring Gençlerbirliği SK's young 18-year-old Guinean defensive midfielder, Ousmane Diabaté, viewing him as a future investment. After initial discussions with the player's representatives, the London club sent scouts to Turkey to observe him. Sources close to the case described this move as a more concrete phase of their interest. Internal discussions have also occurred between Tottenham's emissaries and the sporting director of Gençlerbirliği SK. While several other European clubs have reportedly shown interest, the English club's pursuit appears particularly serious. Tottenham intends to complete preliminary steps before submitting an official offer. The Turkish club's management would not oppose a departure if a satisfactory offer is made. A member of Diabaté's entourage confirmed that discussions with the London club are ongoing and expressed hope for a positive outcome. This source also noted that while other European clubs have made inquiries, the English side seems especially determined. Clauses agreed upon between Diabaté's camp and Gençlerbirliği SK reportedly offer flexibility should a significant bid arrive. The player's entourage maintains good relations with Tottenham's management and is hopeful for a favorable resolution in the coming weeks, as the club may soon accelerate talks and make a formal proposal. Diabaté's contract with Gençlerbirliği is set to expire on June 30, 2029.
