TRANSFER NEWS [emoji3578]

[emoji438] Bild - Tier 2.5 Tottenham Hotspur are keen on a move for RB Leipzig forward Marcel Sabitzer, who is likely to leave the German club in the near future.
--
Tat’s according to SportBILD, who say that the 26-year-old is a ‘hot candidate’ for a transfer with his contract set to expire in 2022.
--
Extending that deal is likely to be ‘too expensive’ for RB Leipzig to manage and so a transfer away is looking likely next summer.
--
[emoji1696] The Austrian would like a move to the Premier League, a division which he finds ‘exciting’ and fortunately for him; there is interest.
--
That comes from Tottenham, who SportBILD say are at the front of the queue for his signature and ‘want’ him ‘above everyone’.
--
It’s not the first time they’ve been linked either, with the player openly flirting about a move earlier this year following a conversation with Jose Mourinho.
--
[emoji386] Either way, SportBILD also report that Sabitzer ‘should cost around €30m’, which would represent a massive profit in the €1.8m they paid to sign him from Rapid Vienna in 2014.
