# Tottenham Hotspur: Spanish source makes transfer claim involving Niklas Sule

**According to Spanish news outlet [Fichajes](https://www.fichajes.net/noticias/tres-clubes-premier-preparan-ofertas-niklas-sule-20220124.html), there has been another update on Tottenham Hotspur’s hunt for a new central defender involving Bayern Munich star Niklas Sule.**

### The Lowdown: Sule on the move…

As confirmed by Bayern chief executive Oliver Kahn, as relayed by [Fabrizio Romano](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1486311372409516032?s=20), the towering 6 foot 5 powerhouse has now decided to leave the Bundesliga later this year with his contract expiring in the summer.

Sule could now sign for Premier League clubs as a free agent at the end of 2021/2022 in what may be a steal for any side who takes the plunge, especially if they’re in dire need of centre-back options.

The likes of [West Ham have even been linked](https://www.thewesthamway.com/2021/12/29/exwhuemployee-update-3/) with a move previously for the Germany international and it appears Tottenham have him firmly in their sights.

### The Latest: Spurs ‘preparing’ offer…

According to [Fichajes,](https://www.fichajes.net/noticias/tres-clubes-premier-preparan-ofertas-niklas-sule-20220124.html) Tottenham are one of three Premier League sides ‘preparing’ an offer to sign Sule as a free agent in the summer.

This apparently comes after after an urgent request from manager Antonio Conte, who has ‘asked’ the Spurs board for a signing at the back.

The free agent market is apparently something transfer chief Fabio Paratici has ‘always taken advantage of’.

### The Verdict: No brainer…

Spurs were previously linked with a move for [potential 2022 free agent Antonio Rudiger](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-major-update-on-tottenham-bid-to-sign-rudiger-as-paratici-talks-lined-up/) from Chelsea, but Sule could be a much more realistic Bosman signing to pull off given he has no ties to direct rivals.

£31.5 million by [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/niklas-sule/profil/spieler/166601), Paratici and co could now bypass that fee entirely by signing him later this year and he will be worth the effort.

An established international with[37 caps so far](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/niklas-sule/profil/spieler/166601) at just 26-years-old, his manager Julian Nagelsmann has called Sule [‘unbelievable’,](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/news/niklas-sule-10-things-on-bayern-munich-s-towering-centre-back-boateng-5487) with the player’s versatility also a big incentive to move.

He can operate in both [central defence and out wide as a full-back](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/niklas-sule/profil/spieler/166601), potentially plugging many holes for Conte in Spurs’ defence.
