According to reports from Sky Sports, Tottenham Hotspur are showing keen interest in signing Nicolas Gonzalez from Stuttgart.
Gareth Bale, who joined Spurs from Real Madrid in the summer on loan, wants to return to the Spanish club at the end of the season.
The Welshman still has a year left on his contract at Madrid.
It seems that Spurs are already eyeing a potential replacement for Bale in the summer, and have earmarked Gonzalez as an option.
Tottenham are also showing interest in Lille winger Jonathan Bamba.
The report claims that Spurs have been tracking Gonzalez for some time now, and they are continuing to monitor his progress.
The 22-year-old has six goals and two assists in 15 Bundesliga appearances this season.
Gonzalez has three years left on his present deal, and the German club would demand a fee in the region of £27m for him.
He is a versatile player who can play across all the positions in the attacking midfield role.
Gonzalez would be good addition to the club if Bale does indeed head back to Spain.
He is a highly-talented player whose best years are ahead of him. He can play in multiple positions and has already played for the Argentina national team.
