Tottenham are already working on new signings, just days after winning the UEFA Europa League.
Spurs are still yet to back Ange Postecoglou publicly amidst widespread uncertainty at Tottenham in the wake of glory in Bilbao, but despite this, recruitment plans are ongoing.
Leroy Sane is one player Tottenham are pushing to sign, and an interesting exchange between the Bayern Munich No.10 and Heung-min Son has added a new dimension to the saga.
Heung-min Son and Leroy Sane have already met up at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
The South Korea international could be decisive this summer.
TBR Football understand Tottenham have opened talks to sign Sane on a free transfer, as his contract at the Allianz Arena nears expiry.
Now, footage has emerged from after the pre-season friendly between Tottenham and Bayern Munich last summer, where Son can be seen in a playful mood around the Germany international, tickling his beard before the pair walk down the tunnel together while embraced.
Sources have also told TBR Football that Arsenal are keen on Sane – who Bayern Munich spent £44.7m to sign from Manchester City in July 2020 – so the relationship between the German and the Tottenham No.7 could well prove decisive this summer.
The pair have never played together, although Sane and Son were in the Bundesliga at the same time while playing for Schalke 04 and Hamburger SV – they have also played for Bayer Leverkusen at different stages, offering another connection.
Not only is the 29-year-old close with Son, but his agent, Pini Zahavi, has a tight bond with Daniel Levy.
Christian Falk even claims that Zahavi is urging Sane to join Tottenham this summer, and there is another potentially key detail to digest, as the attacker’s family live in London.
With all of the above taken into account, a move to N17 for the Bayern Munich star would not be a surprise by any means.
