Report: Spurs have to complete deal in eight days to sign winger for £20m

According to Florian Plettenberg, rumoured Tottenham target Chris Fuhrich can be signed for a cut-price fee for the next eight days due to a clause in the Stuttgart player’s contract.

A whole host of wide-men have been mooted as targets for Spurs over the last few months and one of the names mentioned is Chris Fuhrich, who has evolved into a consistent performer since his move to the MHP Arena two and a half years ago.

It was reported by Christian Falk a few days ago that Tottenham had been impressed by the 26-year-old’s displays and are set to battle Bayern Munich for the player’s signature.

The journalist asserted that the attacker, who scored nine goals and provided seven assists across all competitions last season, has a release clause of €23.5m (£19.8m) in his contract.

The speculation linking Fuhrich to Spurs has since gone quiet but Plettenberg has now taken to social media to provide an update on the 26-year-old’s future.

He claimed that the German international’s release clause would be valid until July 19, after which any interested club would have to negotiate a deal with Stuttgart.

He adds that while the Bundesliga club can sign Fuhrich for €20m until that day, Premier League and Serie A sides would have to pay around €23m-€25m for the winger.

Spurs Web Opinion

While several clubs would be tempted to make a move for Fuhrich, given the modest release clause, Tottenham now need a game-changing signing in attack.

We need a wide-forward who would instantly elevate the quality of our starting eleven and the Stuttgart man is not at that level.
