Reportedly valued at £16m: Tottenham should beat PL big hitters to sign Bundesliga 29-year-old

Double blow for rivals

Signing Kruse would obviously come as a huge boost to Spurs as they look to beat off the likes of Chelsea, Man City and any other title contenders come May 2018.

They will also be looking to improve on their disappointing campaign in the Champions League and signing a player like Kruse will do that.

However, they will gain twice an advantage with Kruse’s signature as it would see both Chelsea and Liverpool miss out, who will be forced to watch him shine in different colours.
