Loads of Tottenham Hotspur fans on Twitter are excited about the link to Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Denis Zakaria.

Bild reported this week that Spurs are one of a number of top European clubs interested in the 22-year-old, who has been making waves for the German top flight leaders this season – according to Bundesliga.com the defensive midfielder has a passing accuracy of 88% this term.

The story adds that the north London outfit will face competition from the likes of Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Inter Milan if they want to sign the 22-year-old, who is rated at €50m (£43m).
