According to a report in the Daily Mirror, Tottenham Hotspur are interested in Stuttgart’s Benjamin Pavard, but they surely don’t need him.

The French international, who scored one of the goals of the World Cup against Argentina, has built a reputation for himself as one of the finest right-backs across Europe.

Tottenham have apparently been alerted to Pavard’s potential availability this summer, but he would surely face a battle to break into Mauricio Pochettino’s team.

Tottenham already have Kieran Trippier at right-back, who just seems to go from strength to strength.

Trippier has got better during ever season he has spent at Spurs, and his showings for England this summer have been remarkable.

The former Burnley man has been one of the Three Lions’ best players throughout the World Cup so far and has made the right-back slot his own at Spurs.

Tottenham also have Kyle Walker-Peters and Serge Aurier in reserve, so spending a considerable amount of money on Pavard may not be advisable this summer.
