Bochum talent Armel Bella-Kotchap is looking for an English consultancy with the view of moving to the Premier League this summer, with Tottenham, Manchester City and Chelsea all interested in the defender.
According to Bild, the 20-year-old centre-back is set on moving to England in the transfer window, with Bochum open to selling their star defender this summer with interest high in the German youth international.

As per another report from Bild, Tottenham, City and Chelsea are all chasing Bella-Kotchap, with Manchester United also interested in the defensive prospect, who has enjoyed a breakout season.
Labelled as a ‘behemoth’ by Bundesliga’s official website, Bella-Kotchap is physically suited to the Premier League and could develop into a fantastic long-term option for many top sides.
And for Tottenham and Chelsea, in particular, Bella-Kotchap could be a great signing this summer, especially with the defender actively seeking a move to the Premier League on his own accord.
Moreover, with Bochum open to selling Bella-Kotchap this summer for as little as €10m (£8.4m), there is a potential bargain to be had for either London side if they can act quickly enough in the coming weeks.
Tottenham will look to beat Chelsea to Bochum star Bella-Kotchap
With Antonio Conte targetting central defence this summer, a player of Bella-Kotchap’s qualities and defensive potential should be a prime target for Tottenham, yet Chelsea themselves a major threat.
With Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger both set to leave west London, Thomas Tuchel could be willing to gamble on Bella-Kotchap, who looks to be the next big defensive prospect from Germany after flourishing at Bochum.
