Turkish Süper Lig giants Beşiktaş and Galatasaray are set to battle Bundesliga clubs Eintracht Frankfurt, Mainz, and Werder Bremen for Super Eagles prospects Anthony Dennis, Soccernet.ng reports.

Dennis has continued to attract significant interest from clubs both within and outside of Turkey following his impressive performances for Göztepe.

Since last season, the 21-year-old defensive midfielder has distinguished himself as one of the standout performers in the Süper Lig, delivering impressive displays with remarkable consistency.

These performances have not gone unnoticed, as several scouts have been keeping close tabs on him since last summer.

It now appears increasingly likely that the midfielder will secure a move this summer. However, his exact destination remains uncertain, as a host of top clubs are currently linked with his signature.

According to Fotomac, Süper Lig heavyweights Beşiktaş and Galatasaray are both determined to strike a deal with Göztepe once the transfer window opens.

While Turkish interest remains high, several clubs abroad are also eyeing a move for the 21-year-old.

Beyond his technical ability on the pitch, Dennis’s attractive price tag makes him a compelling target. Göztepe is reportedly willing to listen to offers in the region of €10 million, a figure well within the budget of his European suitors.

The HB Abuja Academy product is seemingly open to a move as he looks to continue his career progression. As such, personal terms are unlikely to be a stumbling block if the right financial package is presented.

Despite his stellar form for Göztepe, Dennis is yet to make his debut for the Nigerian Super Eagles. However, he has been widely tipped to become a cornerstone of the national team in the coming years, and he will be eager to prove his worth at a higher level.
