Tottenham are being encouraged in their pursuit of Bayern Munich midfielder Douglas Costa.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino is keen to tempt the Brazil international to England this summer.

And Bayern are ready to sell, as they seek to make room for their own transfer plans.

A bid of €36 million is being prepared by Spurs for Douglas Costa, according to German sources.

And just this month, the midfielder admitted: "Bayern simply has to accept an offer and the other teams pay what they have to pay. I can not say names, but there are contacts with teams from England, Spain and France."
