Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly identified the Bayern Munich player they want to be included in any swap deal involving Harry Kane.
Ever since the summer transfer window opened, Kane’s future at Spurs has been thrown up into the air.
Having been linked with the likes of Bayern, Paris Saint Germain and Manchester United, it was the Bavarian club who are currently at the head of the queue.

Over the last few weeks, it was reported that Bayern have already had two bids for Kane rejected by Spurs.
It has been reported that Kane will be keen on a move to Bayern if a fee can be agreed between the two clubs.
According to The Guardian, the German Bundesliga giants are believed to be readying a bid worth £85.6 million.

It has also been claimed that Spurs are showing an interest in Bayern’s 18-year-old star Mathys Tel.
With Spurs’ interest in the Frenchman, Bayern could use him to lower the cash bid with a potential player plus cash deal.
Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel had planned to keep Tel around but did admit things could change “if something changes very late in the transfer window”.

Speaking recently about Kane’s future, Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou said: “I had a good chat with Harry.
“It was nothing earth-shattering as people are seeking. Just a good chat, introduced myself, and we spoke mainly about the club, where it's at and where he thinks can improve.”
The Australian added: “It's not a specific vision for one person, it's about the group and we're perfectly aligned on that - we want to see a successful team this year.”
