Tottenham Hotspur have been presented with the opportunity to sign Bayern Munich star Leroy Sané this summer, as intermediaries have reportedly offered the winger to the club. However, Spurs’ stance on pursuing the deal remains cautious as they weigh their options to support manager Ange Postecoglou.
Tottenham Advance to Europa League Quarter-Finals After Victory Over AZ Alkmaar
Tottenham’s quest to end their 17-year trophy drought remains alive after they secured a place in the Europa League quarter-finals with a 3-1 victory over AZ Alkmaar on Thursday night.
Wilson Odobert opened the scoring with a superb finish, followed by a goal from James Maddison, giving Spurs a comfortable aggregate lead. AZ briefly threatened when Peer Koopmeiners capitalized on a misplaced pass by Lucas Bergvall to pull one back. However, Odobert sealed the win with his second goal of the match, ensuring a 3-1 victory for the Lilywhites. They will now face Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt in the next round.
Key Performances and Postecoglou’s Reaction
Despite his error leading to AZ’s goal, Bergvall delivered an impressive performance, while Odobert, Dominic Solanke, James Maddison, Son Heung-min, and the revitalized Djed Spence also stood out.
Postecoglou praised his team’s resilience, stating, “Really liked the way the boys addressed the challenge tonight. It’s not easy when you’re 1-0 down before the game starts. We started the game really well, controlled it, and scored a really good goal from our press. In the second half, we got our goal, but then we gave them one. Our response to that was excellent, and we probably should have scored another one or two to finish the game off.”

Tottenham’s Summer Transfer Plans: Leroy Sané Offered
Off the pitch, Tottenham are looking to strengthen their squad to avoid a repeat of their inconsistent domestic campaign, which has been plagued by injuries and a lack of depth. The club is reportedly in the market for a new forward this summer, alongside their plans to secure Mathys Tel on a permanent deal.
Intermediaries have now offered Bayern Munich’s Leroy Sané to Tottenham. The 29-year-old winger, who earns £241,000 per week, will be a free agent at the end of the season after five successful years at Bayern. According to The Boot Room’s Graeme Bailey, Spurs have been made aware of Sané’s situation but have yet to make a move.
Sané, described as “incredible” by Pep Guardiola, has amassed 56 goals and 50 assists during his time at Bayern. However, his current wage demands would make him Tottenham’s highest earner, surpassing Son Heung-min, which could be a stumbling block for the deal.
