Tottenham Hotspur will have to overcome a 1-0 first leg defeat when they face AZ Alkmaar in the second leg of their last 16 tie on Thursday night.
The Lilywhites were beaten 1-0 in the Netherlands last week, and Ange Postecoglou’s side will therefore have to overturn that deficit if they are to progress to the last eight of the competition and keep their hopes of lifting the trophy alive.
Spurs will have been boosted by their 2-2 draw against high-flying Bournemouth on Sunday, with Postecoglou’s side coming from 2-0 down to rescue a point.
Forward Mathys Tel was an unused substitute for Spurs for the first time since joining the club in January.
The Frenchman is on loan from German side Bayern Munich until the end of the current season, but the North London outfit could attempt to agree a permanent deal for the forward when the transfer window reopens.
Bayern Munich Star Could Join Tottenham’s Transfer Radar
Now, it appears that Spurs could also be offered another Bayern star during the summer transfer window. According to GiveMeSport, Tottenham could be offered the chance to sign Bayern forward Kingsley Coman during negotiations over a permanent deal for Tel this summer.
Coman, 28, has enjoyed remarkable success since joining Bayern from Juventus in 2015. The French winger has compiled impressive statistics during his time in Germany:
- 69 goals across all competitions
- 62 assists in 327 matches
- 20 trophies won during his Bayern Munich tenure
Transfer Possibilities Between Spurs and Bayern
Spurs currently have the option to purchase Tel for a fee of £45 million as part of the loan agreement that was reached in January. However, the report suggests Bayern are looking to offload Coman and could therefore offer the France international to the North London side as part of their summer business.
While Coman’s current contract with Bayern is set to run until 2027, the Bundesliga giants are reportedly keen to allow the experienced winger to embark on a fresh challenge ahead of next season. This could present a unique opportunity for Tottenham to strengthen their attacking options with a proven winner.
The potential acquisition would bring valuable Champions League experience to Tottenham’s squad, with Coman famously scoring the winning goal in the 2020 Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain.
| Player | Current Status | Potential Deal |
|---|---|---|
| Mathys Tel | On loan from Bayern | £45m permanent option |
| Kingsley Coman | Bayern player until 2027 | Potential summer transfer |
For Postecoglou’s side, however, immediate attention turns to Thursday’s crucial second leg against AZ Alkmaar, where they’ll need to overturn a one-goal deficit to keep their European campaign alive.
