Tottenham have been linked with a late move for Bayern Munich goalkeeper Alexander Nubel.

The Lowdown: Nubel profiled

Nubel is 25 years of age and is currently out on loan at AS Monaco until the end of the 2022/23 campaign. He has been a regular for the French side, making 30 appearances in all competitions.

The German, described as a player with ‘extraordinary footballing ability’ by Klaus Thomforde, joined Bayern back in 2020 from Schalke.

He has featured just four times for the Bundesliga giants, and it seems as if Spurs are keen on bringing the 6 foot 3 shot-stopper to north London.

The Latest: Spurs keen

As per German outlets Kicker and Bild, relayed by Sports Witness, Spurs have shown an interest in Nubel.

His displays for Monaco have caught the eye of Fabio Paratici and co, who are still looking to bolster their goalkeeping ranks despite Hugo Lloris penning a new contract earlier this month.

The Verdict: Not needed right now

Bayern have an option to cut short Nubel’s two-year loan spell in the summer, so perhaps it could be a transfer to assess then and not now.

Paratici surely has bigger fish to fry in the final days of the January window after failing so far to add to Antonio Conte’s squad, with moves for Adama Traore and Luis Diaz seemingly about to fall through.

Plenty of outfield areas could do with adding to, however, when it comes to options in goal, Spurs are fairly well-stocked until the summer with Lloris and Pierluigi Gollini.
