Jonathan Tah scouted by Tottenham as Bayer Leverkusen defender is seen as best option if Toby Alderweireld leaves the club this summer

Tottenham are eyeing Bayer Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah as a possible option should Toby Alderweireld leave the club this summer.

Alderweireld's current contract expires in the summer of 2019 and Tottenham have yet to persuade the Belgian to sign a new deal.

According to The Mirror, Tottenham are likely to try and sell Alderweireld in the summer and have been scouting £35million-rated Tah, who has three senior caps for Germany.

Composed on the ball and possessing excellent positional sense, Tah is an exciting prospect, with the 22-year-old having developed extremely well during his time at Leverkusen.
