Tottenham Hotspur may need a new right-back this summer and Benjamin Henrichs is reportedly on their list.
According to Bleacher Report, Tottenham Hotspur are continuing to track Bayer Leverkusen right-back Benjamin Henrichs this summer, and there is a feeling that a move is possible if the right offer comes along.
Spurs have allegedly been scouting the 20-year-old for a while and see him as a potential recruit if, as expected, Kyle Walker leaves the club this summer.

Tottenham have Kieran Walker and youngster Kyle Walker-Peters but the latter is unproven in top flight football and, despite his reputation, Spurs may feel the need to get additional quality in for the short-term.
Henrichs only signed a new long-term contract at Leverkusen last season, but the latest report suggests that is not guaranteed to hold him back from a summer switch if the right deal is offered, assumedly for both club and player.
The exciting thing about Henrichs is that he is actually a fine player in a whole host of positions, and his signing would see Tottenham bring in one of the most versatile youngsters in European football.
Able to play as a right-back, left-back, winger, holding midfielder or attacking midfielder, it seems the player is a jack of all trades and a master of more than one.
Tottenham would have to dig relatively deep to get a deal done, but if Walker leaves, there will be plenty of money coming in that can be reinvested in the squad.
