Tottenham Hotspur 'step up Marcel Sabitzer chase'

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly stepped up their pursuit of RB Leipzig's Marcel Sabitzer.

The 26-year-old has enjoyed an impressive campaign with the Bundesliga outfit this term, registering 15 goal and eight assists across all competitions.

Sabitzer shone in Leipzig's 3-0 rout of Spurs in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie, netting a brace as the German outfit knocked out Jose Mourinho's side 4-0 on aggregate.

According to Bild, Spurs have taken a keen interest in the Austria international, and are reportedly weighing up a £45m swoop for Sabitzer in the summer.

The attacker's current deal with Julian Nagelsmann's side will expire in 2022.
