According to German news source Bild, as also translated by Sport Witness, there has been a transfer update out of Tottenham Hotspur involving RB Leipzig midfielder Konrad Laimer.

The Lowdown: Laimer shines...

Already amassing 20 caps for Austria at international level, the 24-year-old has been a revelation in the Bundesliga over these last few seasons as a highly effective utility man.

Laimer's performances have earned links with the likes of Manchester United, who have previously been tipped to move for Leipzig's ace as a possible Paul Pogba replacement.

This kind of attention seemingly prompted his club to agree a new deal back in 2020, with the Austrian top-flight winner putting pen to paper on an extension until 2023.

As per Sport Bild (via The Sun), the fresh terms apparently contain a release clause worth around £34m, with another German outlet now claiming that Tottenham have entered the picture for his services.

The Latest: Bild make Laimer claim...

According to Bild (via Sport Witness), Spurs - and by extension transfer chief Fabio Paratici - have now added Laimer to their list of targets alongside other Premier League clubs.

This comes after the Leipzig star allegedly blew away Tottenham officials when the two teams faced off in a Champions League knockout round tie in 2020.

It is believed that, over the two legs of that round of 16 clash, Laimer 'fought his way' into Spurs scouts' notebooks with his performances.

The Verdict: Bargain?

If Spurs can indeed land the in-form European ace for a meagre £34m clause, it could be worth considering at the very least.

Bundesliga expert Alex Chaffer is certainly a fan, claiming on Twitter that Laimer is 'amazing' and a player who 'every team needs', all whilst calling him 'underrated' and a 'warrior'.

However, with the amount of competition in Conte's central midfield, the 24-year-old may have to work hard to break his way past the in-form pairing of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Rodrigo Bentancur.

This isn't even taking into account Oliver Skipp's imminent return to the team, either, with Paratici and co arguably needing to prioritise other positions which are in greater need of reinforcement.
