Patrick Herrmann is weighing up his options at Borussia Monchengladbach.
The Germany defender has found himself sidelined in the opening weeks of the new season by Gladbach coach Lucien Favre.
Herrmann is frustrated by the way he's been treated, reports BILD, and is discussing with his advisors the prospect of demanding a transfer in January.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is understood to have been alerted to Herrmann's situation as he trawls Europe for a new defensive signing ahead of the winter market.
Spurs football chief Franco Baldini has been tracking Herrmann for almost two years, while the versatile defender has also been linked with Inter Milan.
