Tottenham hold talks over £60m deal for Brentford forward Kevin Schade
Tottenham Hotspur have opened discussions regarding a potential £60m summer move for Brentford forward Kevin Schade, according to reports in Germany.
The north London club are planning a significant squad overhaul following a difficult domestic campaign.
Spurs currently find themselves in a precarious position in the Premier League table, sitting just one point above the relegation zone.
Despite their domestic struggles, the club remain active in the Champions League and are looking to conduct early business ahead of the summer window.
Rapid rise for Brentford star
Schade has established himself as a key figure for the Bees during the current campaign.
The 24-year-old has registered seven goals and three assists in 26 Premier League appearances so far.
He has reportedly stepped out of the shadow of team-mate Bryan Mbeumo, becoming a focal point of the attack.
The German forward is widely recognised as one of the fastest players in the division, offering a direct threat on the counter-attack.
Competition for signature
Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich have also been credited with an interest in the pacy winger.
However, Brentford’s reported €70m (£60m) valuation is believed to be considered too high by the German champions.
Reports suggest Bayern view Schade primarily as a squad option rather than an immediate starter.
The player’s representatives have reportedly offered him to both Tottenham and Chelsea as he remains open to a summer exit.
Spurs planning attacking changes
Tottenham’s interest in Schade dates back to the January transfer window, though a move failed to materialise at that time.
The club are preparing for the expected departure of Brazilian forward Richarlison at the end of the season.
With Wilson Odobert recovering from a long-term ACL injury, reinforcements in wide areas have become a priority.
Schade is viewed as a versatile option capable of playing across the front line and pressing aggressively off the ball.
