The Bayern Munich midfielder could be a useful addition for Tottenham Hotspur.

Renato Sanches (L) and Kingsley Coman of FC Bayern Muenchen warm up during a training session at the club's Saebener Strasse training ground on November 29, 2018 in Munich, Germany.

Bayern Munich midfielder Renato Sanches has admitted that he is not happy at the Allianz Arena, and Tottenham should consider taking a punt on the Portuguese in the summer.

The 21-year-old told German publication Kicker:

“I’m not happy here. I work a lot, but I’m not allowed to play. I want to play more, maybe at a different club, I have to worry about that.”

Bayern signed Sanches from Benfica in the summer of 2016, for a fee that could still rise to €45 million (£39 million), according to BBC Sport, but he has failed to establish himself with the Bavarian giants.

That doesn’t mean to say that the Portugal international cannot go on to fulfil his potential, however, and he could turn out to be a useful addition for Spurs.

Tottenham are in real need of central midfield reinforcements, having sold Mousa Dembele in January, and with Victor Wanyama facing an uncertain future in north London, according to a report from the Daily Mail.

Sanches has all of the attributes needed to be a success in the Premier League, and despite his underwhelming loan spell with Swansea City, a fresh start with Spurs might be just what he needs in order to reinvigorate his stuttering career.

The Bayern youngster is a tenacious tackler, has an impressive engine, and possesses an exceptional range of passing.

He really could be a star at Tottenham, and under the guidance of Mauricio Pochettino, he might just finally go on to fulfil his outstanding potential.
