Tottenham Hotspur target Wout Weghorst has been in fine form since being linked with a move to north London throughout the summer, and now his future is being discussed once again...

What's the word?

According to German news site SportBuzzer, only one team has a genuine chance of securing Wolfsburg's 6 foot 6 colossus and that's Spurs.

The Bundesliga outfit's managing director also commented on the situation, and said: "If there is a reasonable offer that Wout also considers interesting, then we will sit down and discuss it. That’s how we discussed it when he renewed his contract. But everyone knows that I don’t like doing transfers in winter."

It is also claimed that it would take around €30m (£27m) to prise him away from the fifth-placed Wolves whilst it remains to be seen if Jose Mourinho will reignite said interest having brought in Carlos Vinicius on loan.

Colossal workhorse

Weghorst is in red hot form and would surely be open to sealing a dream move to the Premier League - he has bagged eight goals in 13 appearances in all competitions with four goals and one assist coming in Wolfsburg's last three league outings, per Transfermarkt.

Given his sheer presence, he'd be an interesting 'plan B' for the Special One, almost in a similar vein to Zlatan Ibrahimovic during his time in charge of Manchester United.

Over the course of his career, the 28-year-old late-bloomer has drawn comparisons to Edin Dzeko, who himself had a pretty productive time in the English top-flight with Manchester City, and Bas Dost, who also has been linked with a move to Spurs in the past.

But perhaps the most intriguing likeness was made by The Athletic's Bundesliga expert Raphael Honigstein, who wrote: "[Weghorst is] Holland’s taller, chunkier answer to Jamie Vardy — minus the bit with the electronic tag and the Skittles-flavoured vodka — still plays like he’s got a point to prove in every match. He flies into tackles, wins more headers than almost anyone and frequently tops his team’s charts for most distance covered."

Indeed Daniel Levy could secure Spurs their own Vardy despite the difference in height. Both are clearly goalscorers who always play with that chip on their shoulder.

VfL captain Josuha Guilavogui has lauded Weghorst as "incredible" and "outstanding" whilst fellow teammate Admir Mehmedi once described the man-mountain as "crazy" but in a good way due to his impressive work-rate.

In some ways, that can be compared to Harry Kane this season, who has covered a ton of ground, as per the following SofaScore heat map.

If Mourinho isn't convinced on Vinicius by January, then it wouldn't hurt to throw the Dutch powerhouse into the mix, especially given his different skillset.
