According to Bild (h/t Matt Farr of Football Insider), the Premier League side have intensified their interest in the versatile player, who is also said to be a target for last season’s Bundesliga surprise package, Hoffenheim.
It’s suggested in the report manager Mauricio Pochettino wants to strengthen his options at the back and provide insurance behind Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld.
Ginter has impressed in spells at the Westfalenstadion since joining from Freiburg in 2014, doing a decent job in a variety of different roles. However, he has yet to totally nail down a regular position in the Dortmund defence, instead being used to plug gaps.
