Boateng And Vestergaard Named In Tottenham Transfer Shortlist

Bayern Munich star Jerome Boateng and Southampton ace Jannik Vestergaard may just be on their way to joining Tottenham, according to reports.

Spurs chiefs are scouring the market for defensive options, having made the position a ‘priority' this off-season.

And Sky Sports report that Boateng and Vestergaard are among those being tracked.

The 76-cap German star will be out of contract in June – after reportedly being told by his club of ten years that he wouldn't be offered a new deal on the day of their Champions League clash with PSG last month.

Boateng has enjoyed a storied career, winning eight Bundesliga titles, five DFB Pokals, two Champions Leagues, an FA Cup while with City, and the 2014 World Cup.

Veteran Bayern star Boateng, 32, has also been linked with a whole host of English clubs, including Arsenal and Chelsea.

Vestergaard, meanwhile, is enjoying a solid season at Southampton.
