Ange Postecoglou handed surprise boost as £20m target is ready to snub Bayern Munich and join Tottenham

Tottenham could beat Bayern Munich to the signing of highly-rated VFB Stuttgart winger, Chris Fuhrich according to reports in Germany. The 26-year-old is high on the list of Spurs who are looking to add firepower upfront having failed to properly replace Harry Kane who left the club last season. 

This is the second time Spurs and Bayern are going head to head for a player with the Lilywhites emerging victorious in signing Radu Dragusin, they could repeat that trick again this summer.

Bild is reporting that the forward would love to try the Premier League and is ready to snub interest from Bayern to move to north London. Highly respected German journalist Christian Falk admitted it was a straight fight between the Lilywhites and Tottenham. 

He wrote on X formerly Twitter: “Bayern Munich and Tottenham Hotspur are fighting for Chris Führich, the 26-year-old Stuttgart player. The winger has a release clause of £20.”

Tottenham transfer bussiness shaping up well 

Tottenham have already signed Timo Werner for another season and insiders say they are working to get Bryan Gil off the wage bill with a move back to Spain being worked on behind the scenes. 

The Lilywhites will also listen to offers for Brazilian forward Richarlison but club captain Son Hueng-min is set to stay again this season despite growing interest from Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce. 

It has not been all incomings though with four players released this week including long-serving Eric Dier who has moved to Bayern Munich, and Ivan Perišić who now plays for Croatian top-division side Hajduk Split. Ryan Sessegnon and Japhet Tanganga both being linked to Premier League and Championship clubs straight away. 

Joe Rodon, who impressed heavily at Leeds United this season where he started 42 of 43 league games she played for the Yorkshire side has also seen the club take up an option to extend his contract by a year.
