Marcel Sabitzer is expected to leave RB Leipzig this summer and Tottenham could make a move for the midfielder, according to Football Insider.
Sabitzer, who has scored five goals in the Bundesliga so far this season, found the net twice against Spurs in the Champions League Round of 16 last term.
And Football Insider believes Leipzig are looking at potential replacements as they prepare to lose the Austrian this summer.
The report claims Spurs enquired about signing Sabitzer in January after a he impressed the Londoners’ head of recruitment Steven Hitchen during scouting missions.
And now it seems Tottenham could finally make their move before the start of next season.
Sabitzer will enter the final year of his current contract in this summer, so it’s possible Spurs will be able to agree a cut-price fee for the 26-year-old.
Tottenham have lacked goals from midfield since Christian Eriksen’s exit, and with Tanguy Ndombele dropping into a deeper role lately, Jose Mourinho needs a new attacking midfielder.
Giovani Lo Celso’s recurring injuries haven’t helped matters either, nor has Dele Alli’s lack of game time – all of which is to say that signing Sabitzer would be a wise piece of business.
We desperately need to sort the defence first, not just a little tweak but a major overhaul, Lloris isn’t anywhere near commanding enough for me and needs to go, as for the defence, where to start? Right back, both are inadequate, we brought in Doherty to replace Aurier but Aurier actually seems the better out of the two, which I find very hard to believe I’m actually saying, they both need to go. Central defence, Dier for me is the worst central defender we have, closely followed by Sanchez, for me they both too have to go, Alderweireld although at the age where we should be looking to replace him, with all the other changes we need I’d keep him as a back up to whoever we bring in. Left back, Davies has to go full stop, he has completely lost any quality he had. Summing up we need a new Goal keeper, we need one class right back, maybe Max Aarons, with Tanganga as back up. Central defence we need at least two class centre backs, that won’t be cheap, one centre back we need has to be left footed, we’ve struggled playing a right footer in that position lately. Left back Reguilon has been our best defender by a long shot and I’d bring back Sessegnon as back up to Reguilon. With Sabitzer coming in and a new striker after we send back Vinicius who I don’t rate at all. I do hope Levy can find a pot full of money somewhere or he can persuade Lewis to release some cash for once, cause that lot ain’t going to come cheap, and we won’t get too much for the players we sell.
Levy n co have money but won’t spend anywhere near the cash we need to get any better untill they go we will keep doing everyting we do nearly men gift teams points sabitzer won’t come either kane or son or both will leave if they do 300 mil n it will go to stadium over players untill levy n co go don’t get ur hopes up
The majority of Spurs fans are in cuckoo land.How are we going to bring in class players when we offer peanuts.What is more which player with any brain will want to join a sinking ship most probably minus Kane,Son and Reguilon?
Let’s face the facts, we will at least in the short and medium term remain nothing other than a mid table premiership club at the best.Sad but true.
