Tottenham Transfer News: Latest Rumours on Niklas Sule and Robbie Keane

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly joined the race to recruit Hoffenheim defender Niklas Sule amid speculation Arsenal and Everton are also interested. Meanwhile, controversy has erupted around Robbie Keane’s 2002 transfer to White Hart Lane.

German newspaper Bild (h/t Football Insider’s Harvey Byrne) reported Spurs have scouts monitoring Sule’s progress in the Bundesliga, adding the centre-back supposedly has a “weakness for England.”

The 21-year-old is attracting attention after impressing in Germany’s top flight, having earned his senior Hoffenheim debut in 2013 and gradually building his reputation in the Bundesliga.

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has utilised Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld as his centre-backs of choice so far this season, and the club’s official Twitter account noted the efficacy of that pairing so far:
