According to BILD, Tottenham are interested in signing Alexander Nubel, with his future at Bayern Munich clouded in uncertainty.
What’s the story?
Well, the 25-year-old is currently on loan at Monaco, although the Spurs target is set to leave if Manuel Neuer signs a new contract, which looks likely.
Nubel joined Bayern Munich from Schalke in 2020, but has only made four appearances for the German giants since his arrival.
Now, Tottenham could bring him to the Premier League.
BILD believe Nubel will see out the season with Monaco, but a summer exit is very likely if Neuer extends his contract.
The man from Paderborn seemingly has no interest in playing second fiddle to Neuer, having rediscovered his best form while on loan at Monaco.
So far this season, Nubel has kept five clean sheets in 22 Ligue 1 outings, and eight in all competitions.
Tottenham must really like Alexander Nubel
This isn’t the first time Spurs have eyed a move for Nubel.
Back in 2019, Calciomercato revealed that Tottenham were battling Chelsea for the German’s signature.
Since then, there have been more stories claiming that Spurs were expressing an interest in Nubel, including an exclusive from talkSPORT.
Evidently, there is an admiration from N17 towards the former Germany Under-21 international.
In our view, Nubel is unlikely to come in and immediately oust Hugo Lloris from in between the sticks.
However, he is far more likely to replace Pierluigi Gollini as the Frenchman’s deputy, with the Italian’s season-long loan ending in June.
Keep an eye on this saga, as it seems Nubel has no intention of returning to Bayern Munich whilst Neuer owns the No.1 shirt.
