Kostic, 29, very much fits the bill of experienced and ready-made players for Antonio Conte. The Spurs coach is said to want players ready to compete at the highest level and not simply up and coming youngsters. Kostic enjoyed a fine personal season in Frankfurt, through the campaign.

The Serbian star could well be seen by Conte as a replacement for Sergio Reguilon. The Spaniard has enjoyed a good season with Spurs but multiple sources have suggested recently he could be moved on.

Kostic has blistering pace, good energy levels, and a real eye for creativity in the final third. If Reguilon was to go, then having Kostic and Sessegnon as left wing-backs would be good for Tottenham and Conte.

as ‘outstanding’ previously and compared to Gareth Bale as well, Kostic would be an eye-catching first signing for Spurs this summer. Certainly, he’d excited the Tottenham fans down that left side anyway.
