Tottenham Hotspur are monitoring the progress of Germany international winger Kevin Schade.
The 23-year-old has impressed at Brentford and could be an interesting signing for the north London club. He has a contract at Brentford until 2028, but securing his services in the coming months will not be easy.
Tottenham eye on Kevin Shade
According to Florian Plettenberg, Spurs hope to make a move for him at the end of the season. They could use more quality and depth in the wings and the German international could be a useful signing for them. He is well established in the Premier League and could make an immediate impact at Tottenham.
The opportunity to join the North London club will be very exciting for him. It will be a step up in his career and he will be competing with them for trophies. It remains to be seen whether Brentford are prepared to allow him to leave at the end of the season. They are likely to demand a premium for him.
Spurs should invest in a striker
Tottenham have been successful in improving their attacking side this summer, and it remains to be seen whether they are prepared to invest in a wide player. Ideally, they should aim to bring in a quality striker who can find the back of the goal on a regular basis. It has a large area and plenty of options. They also have a relationship with Antoine Semenyo.
Meanwhile, the 23-year-old German attacker is also attracting interest from other clubs. It will be interesting to see if any clubs intend to follow up on their interest by making a formal offer to sign him at the end of the season. He will be looking to join a competitive team that can fight for trophies.
