And they may have now received some encouragement. He is out of contract with the Bundesliga side next summer, and he has avoided committing his future to the club.

“So much is said in football. What I say today will no longer count tomorrow. I am sticking to the fact that I have a contract until 2022,” .

Interestingly, that he was then asked by Sky whether he expects to still be with Leipzig next season.

“I’ll leave it as I said,” he said, when asked about whether he will be playing for Leipzig next year.

Leipzig will surely have to think about selling Sabitzer this summer. If he is not planning to extend his contract, then they may have little choice.

Of course, the onus is then on Tottenham to make sure they secure his signature. Sky notes that Jose Mourinho could look to sign him for Roma having wanted him in North London.

And Spurs fans would be forgiven for not expecting Daniel Levy to splash the cash in the coming months. It has obviously been an incredibly difficult time for clubs financially.
