RB Leipzig midfielder Marcel Sabitzer is keen to hear from Tottenham.

The midfielder has been linked with Spurs since his two goals in a scintillating performance helped the Bundesliga side knock Jose Mourinho's men out of the Champions League last 16 last season.

Bild football chief Christian Falk confirmed the club's interest in Sabitzer, and revealed the feeling was mutual, with Sabitzer keen on a move to north London.

The Austrian is RB Leipzig's top earner with a salary of £5.5m a year, and Julian Nagelsmann's side would struggle to increase his wages.

Sabitzer's current deal expires in June 2022, meaning that with an extension proving difficult, Leipzig could be forced to sell him and end his six-year spell at the club
