Tottenham plan bid for Stuttgart goalkeeper Gregor Kobel

Tottenham are eyeing Stuttgart goalkeeper Gregor Kobel.

Hugo Lloris has also been linked with a move to join former Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino at Paris Saint-Germain.

While the search for a successor to Jose Mourinho remains the priority for Tottenham, they have also been busy in the scouting department.

Kicker says Spurs are interested in signing Stuttgart's Kobel this summer, with the 23-year-old goalkeeper 'getting closer' to leaving.

Stuttgart director Sven Mislintat recently admitted Kobel was attracting attention from other clubs, with Borussia Dortmund also linked.

"The two clubs that are knocking on our door are clearly above us in the food chain," Mislintat told Bild

“We will discuss this in a good atmosphere. We can be relaxed about it because we have a great chance of being well compensated financially."

Kobel could be available for around £13-£17.3million (€15-20m), with Stuttgart already lining up Mainz's Florian Müller as a replacement.
