Tottenham Hotspur want RB Leipzig central defender Josko Gvardiol, according to reports in Germany.
Gvardiol, 20, has emerged as one of Europe's hottest defensive talents with his eye-catching displays in the Bundesliga and the World Cup. The Croatian has made 65 appearances for Leipzig since joining from Dinamo Zagreb and was a key cog in his nation's third-place finish in Qatar.
The 6ft 1ins centre-back had been strongly linked with a move to Chelsea but a move to west London now seems unlikely after Todd Boehly secured Benoit Badiashile from AS Monaco for £33.6million. Gvardiol's contract at the Red Bull Arena expires in 2027 meaning any potential suitor will be forced to cough up close to the £115million valuation of CIES Football Observatory.
