As aforesaid, Süle is a player of real pedigree, and has already achieved a lot in his footballing career.

However, neither Liverpool or Tottenham should make a move for him right now.

Nuno Espirito Santo has just spent on Cristian Romero, and can also choose from Japhet Tanganga, Davinson Sanchez or Eric Dier.

In Liverpool’s case, Jürgen Klopp has a strong pairing of Virgil van Dijk and Joël Matip, as well as Joe Gomez, Ibrahima Konate and Nat Phillips in reserve.

In that respect, neither club actually need Süle, and given how much Bayern Munich spent on him, he presumably wouldn’t come cheap.

Regardless of his desires, Nuno and Klopp must ignore his come-and-get-me plea.
