Hoffenheim star Amiri has been linked with Tottenham and Arsenal.
Tottenham and Arsenal target Nadiem Amiri’s agent has told German newspaper SportBild that he will not be leaving Bundesliga outfit Hoffenheim this summer, after the club qualified for the Champions League.
Bild claimed back in January that Spurs were frontrunners to sign the 21-year-old attacker, who has impressed in the first team under highly-rated manager Julian Nagelsmann after breaking through the ranks.
It is also claimed that rivals Arsenal and Manchester United are keeping a track of the 17-time Germany Under-21 international, who can play on the wing, up front or as a number 10.
Amiri’s agent, who is also brother – Nauwid Amiri – told Bild that his client would not be going anywhere this summer, despite interest from other sides for the £14.9m-rated attacker.
“Everyone knows that football is sometimes quick and you should therefore renounce loyalty confessions. But the tendency is clear that Nadiem remains in Hoffenheim,” Amiri’s agent and brother said.
Amiri is quickly developing a reputation as one of the brightest sparks in the Bundesliga at the moment, after already clocking up 101 senior appearances for Hoffenheim – in which he has scored 10 goals and laid on 11 assists.
Spurs already have plenty of options out wide in Amiri’s favoured position, especially after the January signing of Lucas Moura from Paris Saint-German. The Brazilian is competing with Erik Lamela, Son Heung-min and Moussa Sissoko.
But Amiri is only going to get better and it remains to be seen where his long-term future, beyond this summer, remains. He has two years set to run on his current Hoffenheim contract.
