Wirtz is the most exciting attacking talent in the Leverkusen squad and in Germany as a whole. He has hit the ground running after nine months out with a knee injury, scoring four and producing eight assists in his 20 matches this season.

Tottenham are badly in need of some creativity in central positions and Wirtz has that in spades. Furthermore, at just 20 years old he is someone who can go onto become one of the world’s best while in North London as Tottenham plan for the long term. He would be a huge coop for the Lilywhites and should be top of their wish list if they decide to hire Alonso.
