Mainz sporting director Christian Heidel admits they're facing crunch time over the future of young striker Nelson Weiper.

The Germany U21 international has less than a year to run on his current Mainz and is attracting interest from several English clubs, including Tottenham, Brentford and West Ham.

Mainz are said to rate Weiper at around €15m.

And Heidel told BILD: "We had a long conversation in the winter in which I outlined what we planned for him.

"Now comes the next step. When he returns from vacation (after the U21 Euros), we'll sit down together again and see what happens."
