Tottenham are favourites to sign Bayern Munich winger Douglas Costa, according to the latest betting odds.

Leading bookmaker Sky Bet have priced the 26-year-old at 3/1 to make a sensational transfer to Spurs before September 3.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side are leading the race for Costa’s signature ahead of Italian giants Juventus (5/1), Manchester United (5/1) and PSG (16/1).

The possibility of Tottenham pulling off a deal for the highly-rated attacker from a European giant would show how far the north London have come and the pulling power they now possess.

They have secured Champions League football for a second consecutive season after narrowly missing out on the Premier League title to champions Chelsea.

As proven by the betting list, there are a number of big teams in the running for Costa, including Champions League finalists Juventus and Europa League winners United.

Over the course of the season, Costa has played 34 games in all competitions for Carlo Ancelotti’s side, scoring seven goals and supplying nine assists.

However, he started only 14 Bundesliga matches this season which perhaps indicates why the bookmakers think he could be on the move this summer.

The Brazil international moved to the Allianz Arena from Ukranian side Shakhtar Donetsk in 2015 for a fee of £21million.

He has since played 77 matches in all competitions for the German giants, scoring on 14 occasions and supplying 27 assists with his current deal due to expire in 2020.
