Tottenham Hotspur are said to have identified Pavard as a possible summer target.
Two of Britain’s leading Sunday newspapers have adopted contrasting stances over the future of Benjamin Pavard. According to the Sunday Mirror (page 69), Pavard will be a target for Tottenham Hotspur – if Toby Alderweireld leaves White Hart Lane this summer.
However, according to the Sun on Sunday (page 59), Tottenham’s chance may already have passed.
The latter publication claims Pavard – who is also a target for Chelsea and Manchester City – will snub the Premier League altogether and sign for Bayern Munich in a ‘£31 million buyout move’ next summer.
Pavard, who plays for Bayern’s Bundesliga rivals VFB Stuttgart, impressed en route to World Cup 2018 success with France.
And the 22-year-old could prove a shrewd Alderweireld replacement as the Tottenham number four nears his thirties.
Pavard would link up with France teammate Hugo Lloris at Spurs, with another of his national team colleagues, Corentin Tolisso, likely to await him at Bayern.
