Tottenham have reportedly joined Chelsea in the chase to sign Borussia Monchengladbach star Jonas Hofmann this summer.
The 28-year-old winger enjoyed a strong campaign with the Bundesliga outfit, finishing with six goals and adding 11 assists in the league. The attacker’s impressive form also helped him make his international bow for Germany back in October 2020.
And a report from Kicker (as cited by Sport Witness) claims that Hofmann could be on the move this summer.
The report states that clubs from England and Spain are showing an interest in the player, with Spurs in particular ‘vying’ to sign him.
Tottenham scouts are said to have watched Hofmann in action on numerous occasions as they weigh up a potential swoop.
Hofmann has no release clause in his contract which expires in 2023. Given the ‘financial feasibility’ of a transfer, Kicker adds that a Premier League switch ‘would be likely’.
However, Spurs are not the only English club tracking the former Dortmund. Premier League rivals Chelsea have also been monitoring the player, although their north London rivals are reportedly ahead in the race for his signature.
