The 22-year-old scored a wonderful volley from outside the box that rose deliciously into the top corner, and that helped convince a number of Tottenham fans that Daniel Levy and Mauricio Pochettino must now capitalise on their reported interest.
German outlet Bild reported in March that Spurs had scouted the centre-back, who has featured on the right for his country this summer, and based on their reaction to his display against Argentina, it would appear that the Tottenham fans would largely be behind a move for the Stuttgart ace this summer.
