Spurs are keen on signing right-footed 24-year-old (25 in September) Eintracht Frankfurt left winger Ante Rebić, according to Sport Bild, which is a German weekly sports magazine published in Hamburg.

Sport Bild speculate that he is worth, or valued at £26.38 million (€30m) in Germany. Previously Sport Bild were suggesting he wouldn't leave for less than £35.18 million (€40m).

Tottenham are said to be one of a number of clubs watching him for Croatia at the World Cup. He has scored 1 goal in 17 internationals for his country. The winger scored two goals in the DFB Cup Final against Bayern Munich, which helped his club lift the trophy, their first piece of silverware for 30 years.

Spurs have been following his progress for 5 years, ever since we tried to sign him from RNK Split before he went to Fiorentina who had a 50% sell-on clause added when Eintracht Frankfurt bought him. The Bundesliga side therefore wants to push the price up as high as possible to maximise their own return. They will after all need a replacement.

He has been on loan for the last year with a buying option that has been taken up, as of 1 July, for £1.8 million (€2.05m).


He does not have a release clause in his contract, which runs until 2021 and as yet, no firm offer has been made by Spurs.
