Spurs fans on Twitter have been discussing some quotes from RB Leipzig midfielder Marcel Sabitzer.
The Austrian was asked by Sport Bild, as per Sport Witness, if he’s already spoken to Jose Mourinho about a potential move to the North London club, to which he replied: “Why do you think I’d answer? I want to end the season first, that has top priority. And then let’s see how things are.” (via Talking THFC)
The 26-year-old was instrumental in Leipzig’s 3-0 Champions League triumph against Spurs back in March; scoring twice and earning an impressive 8.66 rating for his performance (per WhoScored). The attacking-midfielder is currently valued at £28.8 million per Transfermarkt, but from his latest quotes, it seems as if a move to Spurs could well be on the cards this summer.
Do you think Sabitzer could join Spurs this summer?
Yes
No

This lad would be a massive addition, him and Bergwijn on the wings plus a striker that can keep up with the pace..Time to consider selling Kane

I dont understand why players for a RB Leipzig team who trashed us would want to join us

Very good, but we have limited money. We should prioritize DM, RB, and LB over him.

The majority of these Spurs fans clearly seem to rate Sabitzer and would love to see him join Spurs this summer, but some think neither Tottenham nor Sabitzer would be interested in a transfer to North London.
What do we think?
Sabitzer clearly impressed these Spurs fans with his performances over the two legs in the Champions League this season and his quotes certainly don’t rule out a move to the Premier League this summer.
