Reports: Tottenham make contact to sign ‘world-class’ £330,000-a-week forward in late deal

Thomas Frank is currently grappling with a severely stretched Tottenham Hotspur squad, with injuries continuing to decimate his options across the pitch. The lack of available personnel has made reinforcements a near-necessity rather than a luxury, particularly with the season approaching its decisive phase. Despite the challenges, the Premier League table remains remarkably congested, meaning Spurs are still very much in the mix for a late push toward the European qualification places. However, achieving that goal may hinge on whether the club can strengthen effectively before Monday’s transfer deadline.

Tottenham Sound Out Bayern Over Gnabry

According to German journalist Christian Falk, Tottenham have recently initiated contact with Bayern Munich to assess the potential availability of winger Serge Gnabry. The approach was exploratory, as Spurs seek attacking reinforcements following an injury-hit campaign and the loss of Brennan Johnson earlier in the window. However, any hopes of landing the German international appear slim at this stage.

Gnabry has reportedly made it clear to Tottenham that his preference is to remain in Munich, where he is already in discussions over a new contract with Bayern. The Bundesliga giants are keen to retain the 30-year-old, who remains an integral part of their attacking setup. He is believed to be close to agreeing a new two-year extension, a deal that could also see his lucrative salary increase even further.

Falk has previously revealed that Gnabry earns in the region of £330,000 per week, placing him among Bayern’s top earners. With a contract renewal on the table, it remains to be seen whether the winger will secure an even higher wage when he formally commits his future to the German champions.

Bayern Unlikely to Let Key Man Go

The former Arsenal attacker, who has been labelled “world-class” by Bayern head coach Vincent Kompany, has featured regularly this season despite some rotation. Gnabry has made 14 Bundesliga appearances, registering an impressive 11 goals and assists from just 10 league starts. Those numbers underline his continued influence and explain why Bayern are unlikely to entertain any late-window interest from abroad.

Given his productivity and experience, Bayern are expected to take a firm stance and resist any attempts to prise him away, especially at such a critical point in the season.

Spurs Still Desperate for Attacking Reinforcements

For Tottenham, the need for a new winger has only intensified following Johnson’s departure and a growing injury list. The campaign has been a frustrating one for the north London side, with momentum repeatedly stalled by fitness issues and a lack of depth in key areas. If Spurs are to revive their European ambitions, adding quality in attack before the window closes is essential.

While a move for Gnabry now appears to be off the table, Tottenham must quickly turn their attention to alternative targets. Frank’s injury-hit squad cannot afford to wait, and the coming days could prove decisive in determining whether Spurs can mount a genuine late-season surge or are left to rue another missed opportunity in the transfer market.
