Tottenham keen to land RB Leipzig forward

Tottenham are reportedly keeping a close eye on many forwards across the Europe.

According to the football transfer rumours in British media, Tottenham are keen to land RB Leipzig forward Marcel Sabitzer.

The Austria international was signed by RB Leipzig in July 2014 from Rapid Wien for a fee of 2 million euros. The 26-year-old has a contract until 2022 with the club.

In total, he has scored 42 goals and supplied 32 assists from 179 RB Leipzig matches.

The 26-year-old is considered to be one of the best forwards in Austria.

As a member of Austria national football team, Sabitzer won 42 caps and he scored 7 goals.

His performances have seen him become the target of many European clubs including Tottenham.

Jose Mourinho is looking to shore up his attacking options and RB Leipzig’s Sabitzer happens to be a target.

The Spurs manager has been impressed by his performances this season and could make a move this summer.

Tottenham are in the market for just a handful of statement signings who can improve the first-team.

Marcel Sabitzer would provide a good variety to Tottenham’s attack.

According to the report, “Tottenham are eager to sign RB Leipzig skipper Marcel Sabitzer in the summer. Spurs are likely to make several signings in the transfer window as they look to reshape Jose Mourinho’s squad. And Sabitzer, who has impressed with Leipzig this season, is a key target. The 26-year-old midfielder would command at least €50 million, per German outlet Bild. Sabitzer was part of the Leipzig team that knocked out Tottenham of the Champions League in the round of 16 this season. He has eight goals in 25 league games in Germany this season, and would add much needed energy and quality to the centre of the park for Spurs.”
