Man Utd send scouts to watch Bundesliga star ahead of January move
MANCHESTER UNITED are closing in on a deal for Bayer Leverkusen star Hakan Calhanoglu, according to reports.
Hakan Calhanoglu has been scouted by Manchester United
The Red Devils were linked with a £26.4million move for the midfielder last month in the Turkish media.
Koprubasi suggested Calhanoglu had been unimpressed with the sale of Son Heung Min to Tottenham and was similarly looking for the exit door.
And according to new reports by TMW, United have sent scouts to check on the Turkey star ahead of a move in the January transfer window.
The report adds that AC Milan have also stepped up efforts to sign the 21-year-old, hence the increased interest from Old Trafford.

Calhanoglu is renowned for his set piece abilities, in particular free-kicks and scored 8 goals in 33 Bundesliga appearances last season.
