Tottenham have reportedly joined Leeds and Juventus in the hunt for Stuttgart winger Nicolas Gonzalez.
The 22-year-old grabbed a goal and an assist in Stuttgart’s win over Augsburg on Sunday. Gonzales, who has five goals this term, is contracted until 2024 with the Bundesliga club.
The report claims Stuttgart will hold out for a fee in the region of €30million. Spurs are said to have held preliminary talks but face competition from Juventus and Leeds.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is unlikely to spend big reinforcing his wounded squad this January, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip are all out injured but it will only take a “good opportunity” in the coming weeks to force Klopp into the market before the February 2 deadline.
“I think that Jurgen Klopp has been so honest when he speaks about the market. Not all managers are honest about transfers, but Jurgen Klopp was honest,” Romano told Sky Sports News.
“They are looking for opportunities. If something arrives, they will be ready to sign a new player but spending €60m-€70m for players like [Dayot Upamecano] or this kind of centre-back is absolutely impossible in this window for Liverpool.”

Alaba is said to have his sights set firmly on a move to Real Madrid depite links to Liverpool.
