Shock links between Tottenham and a Bayern Munich midfielder have been verified, and we can reveal Thomas Frank is receptive to a deal being made.<\/p>\n
Central midfield has been an area of weakness at Tottenham<\/a> this season, with Frank\u2019s frequent chopping and changing of options highlighting that fact.<\/p>\n Recent reports in Spain floated the idea of what on the face of it, appeared an unlikely move for Bayern Munich<\/a> and Germany midfielder, Leon Goretzka<\/a>.<\/p>\n The 30-year-old\u2019s influence in Munich has diminished since Vincent Kompany took charge last term. Goretzka does still start fairly regularly in the Bundesliga, but when he does, he\u2019s often hauled off on the hour mark.<\/p>\n And perhaps most tellingly, Goretzka has not started a single match in the Champions League this term.<\/p>\n The report claimed Spurs were \u2018one of the best positioned teams\u2019 to land Goretzka<\/a> in 2026, with the German reportedly open to a new challenge amid his Bayern spell souring.<\/p>\n TEAMtalk tasked transfer insider, Dean Jones, with looking into the claims and it may surprise more than a few of you to learn there is something to the story.<\/p>\n Not only is Tottenham boss Frank open to bringing Goretzka on board, but Spurs have actually been offered the player by intermediaries.<\/p>\n \u201cThere have been a few stories linking Spurs with Goretzka and there is something in it,\u201d confirmed Jones.<\/p>\n \u201cThe player is keen to explore a move to the Premier League and since Spurs have been sounded out, there have been a few people willing to consider the idea.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m told Thomas Frank is actually one of the interested parties, as he views him as one of the more dependable players they have been offered at a time when they are seriously looking at midfield options for 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n But while a move is seemingly there to be made, it\u2019s Jones\u2019 view that a deal is unlikely at this stage given signing Goretzka doesn\u2019t have unanimous approval yet in north London.<\/p>\n \u201cMy hunch is that such a move won\u2019t actually go ahead because I get the impression enough other people are not convinced this is the right move for them as they attempt to remodel the team and build for the future.<\/p>\n \u201cBut it\u2019s a sign of movement and a sign that Spurs are active in the market for a player in that area.\u201d<\/p>\n Get the inside story first by joining our TEAMtalk Facebook channel<\/a> to receive the latest breaking and exclusive news straight into your Messenger inbox. <\/p>\n Latest Tottenham news \u2013 Three out, Savinho in? \/ Bergvall truths and more\u2026<\/p>\n In other news,\u00a0Fabrizio Romano has confirmed Spurs are considering the departure of forgotten defender Radu Dragusin in January, with the Romanian one of three potential exits, and with sources providing the latest on their prospects of raiding Manchester City for Savinho<\/a>.<\/p>\n Elsewhere, and amid stunning claims Liverpool have offered \u00a352.5m for Tottenham midfielder Lucas Bergvall, we can reveal\u00a0Spurs\u2019 stance on selling the Swede<\/a>\u00a0amid a long-term \u2018acceptance\u2019 and a \u00a3100m aim.<\/p>\n
