Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on Max Kruse.
According to a report from Sky Sports in Germany, Tottenham Hotspur are battling Inter Milan for Werder Bremen striker Max Kruse.
Spurs are likely to be in the market for another goalscorer this summer, with Fernando Llorente potentially set for the exit this summer, and cover needed for Harry Kane.
Most would expect Spurs to target a young striker for Mauricio Pochettino to develop, but they are instead being linked with an experienced option.
Sky Sports in Germany claim that Spurs are in the race to sign Werder Bremen ace Max Kruse, competing with Italian giants Inter Milan for his signature.
Kruse, 31, is out of contract at the end of the season, meaning he can be signed for free either on a pre-contract agreement or waiting until his deal ends.
Werder are desperately attempting to get the free agent signed up to a new deal, but that now appears unlikely as Spurs and Inter battle for a deal.
Kruse has hit nine goals and seven assists this season, continuing to impress in the Bundesliga as an all-round forward, having shown similar quality with Borussia Monchengladbach.
Intriguingly, Pochettino wanted Kruse for £9million in 2015 according to the London Evening Standard, so getting him for free could be very appealing – even if his age doesn’t fit with Tottenham’s usual transfer approach.
