Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho was in attendance to watch Bayern Munich against RB Leipzig on Sunday.

The Portuguese was present to watch the visitors take on the Bundesliga champions, with Spurs drawn against them in the Champions League last 16.

Leipzig are just one point behind Bayern in the league table and are clearly going to be a threat when the teams meet a week on Wednesday.

As well as doing his homework on the opposition, Mourinho may simultaneously have been casting his eye over potential transfer targets.

Here are three players who were in action during Sunday’s game that Mourinho should consider moving for this summer:

Dayot Upamecano – Centre-back

The name of Dayot Upamecano is mentioned a lot, and his performance against Bayern Munich on Sunday was a reminder of why that’s the case.

According to Squawka, he made 10 recoveries, eight clearances, four interceptions and three blocks. He also completed 29/37 passes, which was the most of any Leipzig player.

With Jan Vertonghen potentially leaving in the summer, Spurs may need to buy for the position and Frenchman Upamecano – or his currently injured teammate Ibrahima Konate – would be a major coup.

Peter Gulacsi – Goalkeeper

Leipzig goalkeeper Gulacsi is a criminally underrated stopper.

Once Liverpool’s third-choice goalkeeper, he is now one of the very best in Germany.

Last term he kept the most clean sheets and conceded the fewest goals, and in 2019/20 he is joint-second for fewest goals conceded.

He may not be the fanciest name out there, but Gulacsi would undoubtedly be un upgrade on Paulo Gazzaniga and perhaps even push the ageing Hugo Lloris for the number one position.

Lukas Klostermann – Right-back

Mourinho has shown unwavering faith in Serge Aurier since arriving on the scene, and the Ivorian has had a number of good games to his credit.

But there still appears to be that rash nature that can lead to errors.

In action for Leipzig against Bayern at right-back was Lukas Klostermann, who could definitely be worth keeping tabs on going forwards.

The extremely versatile 6ft 2in star is dependable and efficient and, at the age of 23, could offer many good years for Spurs.
