The German giants have the Spurs centre-back on their shortlist of potential replacements for Jerome Boateng, according to the report in the Daily Mirror.

Manchester United had been keen on landing Boateng, along with Alderweireld, but moves for both players fell through last week.

However, French giants PSG remain keen on a deal for Boateng and reports claim that the Germany star has already agreed a deal with the Ligue 1 club.

That would leave a vacancy at the Allianz Arena and it would appear that Bayern are ready to turn to Belgium star Alderweireld to plug that hole.

As for the player himself, Alderweireld is now focused on the season ahead with Spurs and tweeted after the opening weekend win over Newcastle: “First game, first win. Let’s go and win the title in our new stadium!”
