Tottenham Hotspur 'keen to sign Matthias Ginter on a free transfer'

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing Borussia Monchengladbach centre-back Matthias Ginter on a free transfer this summer.

The 28-year-old has again been an important player for his German club this season, making 29 appearances in all competitions, contributing one goal in the process.

Ginter will leave Monchengladbach on a free transfer at the end of June, though, and a number of clubs, including Juventus, West Ham United and Aston Villa, have been linked with his services.

However, according to Sky Sports News, there is also serious interest from Tottenham, with the North London club keen to sign him on a free transfer.

Barcelona and Real Madrid have also previously been linked with the German, although it seems that both clubs have cooled their interest ahead of the summer.

Ginter has made 177 appearances for Monchengladbach since arriving from Borussia Dortmund in July 2017, scoring 11 goals and contributing five assists in the process.

The defender is currently free to agree a pre-contract with clubs outside of Germany.
