Tottenham are linked with a move for Borussia Dortmund winger Christian Pulisic.
French newspaper L’Equipe have claimed that Borussia Dortmund are interested in a move to sign Paris Saint-Germain attacker Hatem Ben Arfa this summer, which could in turn benefit Tottenham Hotspur.
The 31-year-old attacker is available on a free with the French champions as his contract expires at the end of the month, following a frustrating season that has seen the France international fail to make a single appearance.
That is because he was ostracised by new Arsenal manager Unai Emery, and his future now seems to be far away from Paris. Indeed, Dortmund are looking to lure the former Newcastle United man to Germany.
Dortmund already boast plenty of attacking options in the form of Marco Reus, Mario Gotze, Jadon Sancho, Christian Pulisic, Andre Schurrle, Shinji Kagawa and more.
So, signing another attacker to rival the long lost of players looking to shine in Dortmund’s starting eleven could suggest that one may have to make way first and that could boost Spurs.
The north Londoners have long been interested in USA international Pulisic, with The Telegraph claiming Spurs have switched their attention to the 19-year-old after Ryan Sessegnon looks likely to remain at Fulham.
Despite his tender age, Pulisic was a mainstay of Dortmund’s side last season, clocking up 42 appearances in all competitions and score five goals as well as laying on seven assists.
The Telegraph claim Pulisic is worth £50million as he continues to show huge signs of promise at such a young age, but a move is yet to materialise with two years remaining on his Dortmund contract.
But if Dortmund do push through a move to sign Ben Arfa, Spurs could find that Dortmund become more lenient over the future of Pulisic in the coming months.
