After seeing Under involved in 16 goals during the 2016-17 campaign, several leading sides have been alerted to his potential.

He told Milliyet: "Among the leagues I want to play in are La Liga, the Bundesliga and the Premier League, but I want to play in the Premier League the most."

Chelsea and Tottenham are among the other sides reported to be keeping a close eye on Under’s situation in Turkey, with French side Lille also keen.
