‘Doing an excellent job’: Oliver Kahn wowed by ‘incredible’ World Cup forward Spurs reportedly want

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with Bayern Munich’s Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting in recent weeks.

90Min recently reported that the Cameroon international was on Spurs’ list of potential attacking options in January.

Son Heung-min, Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison have all picked up injuries at various points so far this season.

Therefore, Tottenham boss Antonio Conte is apparently looking at bolstering his attacking ranks.

Choupo-Moting has been in great form for Bayern this season. He’s also off the mark for Cameroon at the World Cup.

And with his contract expiring at the end of the campaign, he’d be a relatively inexpensive target for Spurs.

However, there have been suggestions that Choupo-Moting may stay put at the Allianz Arena.

“Some rumours on Choupo-Moting because he’s doing great,” Fabrizio Romano recently told the Here We Go podcast.

“We were in Munich for the Bayern-Inter game in the Champions League and he was absolutely fantastic. His numbers are incredible.

“But I’m told he’s staying at Bayern until the end of the season and Bayern want to extend his contract.

“So there will be contract talks between Choupo-Moting and Bayern.”

‘We’ll sit down after the World Cup’

Now, Bayern CEO Oliver Kahn has confirmed that player and club will discuss things after the World Cup.

He also told Sky Sport reported Florian Plettenberg, as relayed by Romano, that the 33-year-old has been “doing an excellent job”.

Tottenham may have one of the best strikers in the world in Harry Kane, but finding a deputy for him has been difficult.

Any centre-forward who Spurs want to sign would likely have to accept that they’d be back-up.

Choupo-Moting wouldn’t be a bad shout for Tottenham, but he’s in the form of his life at Bayern.

And it looks as though they want to keep him, so with that in mind, he looks unlikely to make the switch to N17.
