Tottenham Hotspur are one of the sides interested in signing Brentford forward Kevin Schade, who is likely to leave in the summer transfer window, according to Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg.
Schade has enjoyed an impressive season with the Bees after a slow start to life with the capital club. The German attacker has provided nine goals and assists in the Premier League this campaign from 19 starts, and he’s played a key role in helping Brentford battle towards the European places.
Spurs are likely to be in the market for reinforcements in attack, not just in the summer, but potentially in the winter. Brennan Johnson left the club to join Crystal Palace earlier in the window, so there’s an argument to suggest that Spurs need a new forward in the coming weeks.
Tottenham Looking to Raid Thomas Frank’s Former Club
According to Sky Sports reporter Plettenberg, Schade is ‘one to watch’ for the summer transfer window, with a departure now looking likely. Tottenham are one of the sides who are closely monitoring the German forward, who is valued in the region of £52m.
Schade, described as ‘one hell of a threat’ by Scouted Ftbl, is a player well-known by Frank, having previously managed him at Brentford. The 24-year-old provided 13 goals and assists in 26 starts in the Premier League under Frank last season.
Schade Could Transform Tottenham Attack
Schade would offer something a little different to Tottenham’s attack that could be hugely beneficial to Frank. The German forward is a lightning-quick forward, capable of playing in multiple positions across the forward line, and his pace alone could be exactly what Tottenham need to help transform their attack.
After a couple of seasons of settling in, Schade has adapted to the Premier League and is beginning to flourish, and if Tottenham can secure his signature before he takes his game to the next level, the £52m fee could turn out to be a bargain. Brentford don’t want to sell in January, which could make things difficult, but it would be a smart signing for Spurs, now or in the summer.
