Five Bundesliga clubs interested in Tottenham Hotspur star Japhet Tanganga

According to German outlet FussballTransfers, five Bundesliga clubs are interested in securing the services of Tottenham defender Japhet Tanganga ahead of next season.

The 24-year-old, who has a contract with the North London club until the summer of 2025, has struggled for game time this season and is in dire need of regular playing opportunities. A transfer is very much on the cards.

With just two league starts under his belt this year, it’s clear that Tanganga needs to seek greener pastures to continue his development. When Japhet Tanganga burst onto the first-team scene, he was regarded as a highly promising talent.

However, he has been unable to establish himself as a regular starter this year, leaving fans and pundits alike wondering about the reasons behind his limited playing time. A player of his calibre and potential should not be wasting away on the bench, as it could hinder his growth and progress as a professional.

Tanganga has attracted the attention of several European clubs, with five Bundesliga teams showing a keen interest in acquiring his services. Eintracht Frankfurt, Bayer Leverkusen, Union Berlin, VfB Stuttgart, and Hamburger SV have all apparently made initial inquiries regarding the defender’s future.

It’s a testament to Tanganga’s talent that he has garnered interest from reputable clubs in one of Europe’s top leagues. For Tottenham, the situation presents an opportunity. If they are unwilling to provide Tanganga with the regular opportunities he deserves, it would be wise for them to consider cashing in on his potential.

The North London outfit finds themselves in need of defensive reinforcements, and the funds generated from his sale could be wisely reinvested in securing a quality defender who will command a starting position week in and week out.

As it stands, Cristian Romero stands as the only reliable defender at Tottenham. To truly bolster their defensive line, the club must identify and acquire the right reinforcements during the upcoming summer transfer window.

Tanganga’s future firmly seems to be away from the club. Let’s see which club ends up signing the talented defender.
