Tottenham Hotspur was ready to intensify its interest in RB Leipzig captain Marcel Sabitzer

A German newspaper said that Tottenham Hotspur was ready to intensify its interest in RB Leipzig captain Marcel Sabitzer before the summer window, the Austrian playing in the Champions League against the Spurs.

Sabitzer, 26, has been in superb form for Leipzig this season, scoring 23 goals in his 35 league and cup matches. Definitely, Sabitzer scored 15 times in the midfield - and created eight more.

Two of these goals came in Leipzig's 4-0 victory over Tottenham in the last 16 of the Champions League. His performance caught the eye of Jose Mourinho, and now the Spurs have made it their transfer priority this summer.

A midfielder striker with a free kick technique Sabitzer is reminiscent of the former England captain, who made a career out of his remarkable swing deliveries and long-range free kicks.

He may be less of an unconditional winger than the former Manchester United, Real Madrid and LA Galaxy star, but Sabitzer still shares his precision from a distance, as Werder Bremen discovered when he made a superb free kick during the day 5. 

The Austrian also scored from outside the zone against Hertha Berlin on match day 11 and demonstrated his versatility by grabbing his left foot on the first day of Union Berlin thrashing.

The report says Mourinho has a transfer budget in the region of £ 130m this summer and is willing to spend £ 45m to land Sabitzer. He has a contract in Leipzig until the summer of 2022.

Under Mourinho, the Spurs did not have the dynamism and leadership of the midfielder that Mousa Dembele used to provide. A midfielder who has already proven that he can shine at the highest level would be a high-level signature.

Sabitzer has leadership, goals and the feeling that he can move a team forward with his own hands. Yes, it would be expensive, but Sabitzer is a good age and will only get better. Obvious for Spurs.
