Tottenham Hotspur are closely monitoring the development of Brentford attacker Kevin Schade ahead of next summer, according to Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg.
Manager Thomas Frank knows the 23-year-old from his time with the Bees and is eyeing a reunion at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Schade ended last term with 12 goals and three assists across all competitions and has scored once in seven appearances this term.
The German international is under contract with Brentford until 2028, and next summer could be the best time for them to sell him if they want to make a profit.
Schade, once praised by Frank for having ‘big potential’, could be open to working with him again, but it is too early to say whether Spurs will make a concrete move for him.
He is looking to play his way into the German squad for the 2026 World Cup after replacing Stuttgart attacker Jamie Leweling, who is struggling with adductor issues.
The Tottenham target last appeared for his country during the UEFA Nations League match against the Netherlands in October 2024.
He needs to be on top form between now and the end of the season if he wants to play at the World Cup, and Spurs will continue to monitor his situation.
With Richarlison out of contract in 2027, Tottenham need to start preparing for life without him if they do not intend to extend his deal.
Schade could be the perfect man to replace him, and the forward has proven he has the quality to play for a top team.
While he is primarily a left winger, the German can also play through the middle, and Frank is a fan of his versatility.
