da blaze casino: According to talkSPORT, Tottenham are ready to bid for German forward Maximilian Philipp this summer.
da bet7: The 23-year-old, who is currently on the books at Freiburg has impressed a number of scouts around Europe with his ability to sail past defenders and his aerial ability.
It is now thought that Spurs will be in direct battle with Bundesliga big-spenders RB Leipzig for Philipp’s signature. The striker has a market value of just £5.95m, according to transfermarkt.com.
How good has Philipp been this season?
Philipp has played a key role in Freiburg establishing themselves as a top half Bundesliga club this season. The Berlin-born striker has found the net nine times this season and has been a constant nuisance to opposition defences with his trickery and fantastic ability to play well with both feet.
Is Philipp a good signing for Tottenham?
After this season’s disastrous Champions League campaign, Spurs will be keen to qualify for the knockout rounds at the very least next season. To achieve this, they will likely need even more depth to their squad.
With the perennial “what happens if Kane is injured?” question seemingly still unanswered, Pochettino will be looking for a player who has similar attributes. While Vincent Janssen struggled in his first season in England, Maximilian Philipp should flourish with an abundance of talent around him.
Similar to Harry Kane in style more than physique, Philipp is strong, good in the air and two footed. He is just as adept with his back to goal as he is running onto the end of a delivery into the box.
However, the German would need to accept a bit-part role if he decides to join Spurs.
