Bayern Munich will reportedly listen to offers for Juan Bernat so should Tottenham Hotspur take a closer look?

Juan Bernat is one of the four players Bayern Munich are prepared to listen to offers to this summer in a bid to trim down their squad size, according to the Daily Mail.

Thiago Alcantara, Jerome Boateng and Arturo Vidal are the other trio that could be axed by the Bundesliga champions as they take a fresh approach under new manager Niko Kovac.

What next for Bernat?

Sky Sports reports that Tottenham Hotspur are targeting four positions for improvement in the close season; central defence, left-back, central midfield and upfront.

The reason for the need for recruitment at full-back is continued doubt over the future of Danny Rose and there are several candidates on their shortlist to replace the England international.

Top of that list is Ryan Sessegnon, who has just been promoted to the Premier League with Fulham after winning the Championship player of the year award, although the talented 18-year-old has developed into more of a winger than a defender.

Manchester United’s Luke Shaw, Kieran Tierney of Celtic, Porto ace Alex Telles and Southampton’s Ryan Bertrand are also being monitored.

Yet should Bernat, who is a four-time German champion and has the ability to play anywhere on the left flank, be considered by Spurs?
