Euro Paper Talk: Tottenham tempt top-scoring winger with transfer hope

Jonas Hofmann and Patrick Herrmann celebrate

Jonas Hofmann is on the radar of Tottenham Hotspur, who could tempt him away from the Bundesliga, while one Liverpool ace is being linked with Atletico Madrid and one Atletico Madrid ace is being linked with Liverpool in Wednesday’s Euro transfer gossip.

TOTTENHAM KEEN TO SWOOP FOR JONAS HOFMANN

Tottenham Hotspur could tempt right-winger Jonas Hofmann away from Borussia Monchengladbach in the summer, according to SportBild.

By the end of a season in which he has already scored eight goals – more than any of his teammates – Hofmann will only have a year left on his contract. His current employers would like him to renew, but he is aware of a number of other options.

Bild (via Sport Witness) are reporting that Tottenham have shown an interest before and still are doing. Hence, they could take their chance to sign him in the summer. The same goes for fellow suitors Atletico Madrid.

But if Gladbach are to tie him down to longer terms, he would possibly have to take a pay-cut. In contrast, Tottenham or Atletico could improve what he earns. Therefore, a move may appeal.

Hofmann has never played in the Premier League before, instead spending all his career in Germany. He has earned 10 caps for his country since 2020.

Turning 30 in the summer, he has plenty of experience and quality, so could be ready to take his chance at stepping up.

Jonas Hofmann applauding

It will be a busy summer for Spurs, who will need to appease head coach Antonio Conte in the transfer market. They gave him two new players in January, but also saw some of his targets move elsewhere.

One of those that got away was right-winger Adama Traore, whom Conte intended to convert into a wing-back. It is not clear what role he would have in mind for Hofmann.

However, he appears to be a name on the shortlist of managing director Fabio Paratici, who will be planning already for his third transfer window with the club.
