Max Meyer has confirmed that Tottenham made an approach to sign him in the summer.
The 21 year old Germany international is one of the hottest prospects in the world and it was reported that we had an interest in the player. Tottenham have spent some time scouting in the German and French leagues recently and Meyer is one of the players targeted from the Bundesliga.
Tottenham have struggled to score goals recently and are still in the market for a creative midfielder/forward. Meyer is still an option for the January transfer window.
Of the Tottenham speculation, Meyer said:
“I know that there was interest and the club was asked, but Schalke immediately put a stop to it. So the matter was settled,” the attacking midfielder told German publication Sport Bild.
“Of course I’ve dealt with it. I know what I have at Schalke and I like to play for this club.”
But he added: “When the time comes, we’ll come to a decision. But I feel good about Schalke.”
