Tottenham were reported by BILD this week to be monitoring German striker Timo Werner.

A once unattainable signing for European teams, Werner faces being sold by Red Bull Leipzig in the summer as his contract expires in 2020.

Spurs have Harry Kane up front and this could potentially put Werner off a move if he fears being stuck on the bench.

Tottenham have experimented with two up front at times, but usually go with a lone striker because Mauricio Pochettino does not trust his alternatives.

Vincent Janssen and Fernando Llorente have been used sparingly or not at all, and a top class forward like Werner may have more luck.
