Tottenham Hotspur are in talks to sign Mats Hummels as a free agent ahead of next season.
Hummels’ time at Borussia Dortmund came to an end last week as he decided to leave the club with his contract expiring. While there is a lot of interest in his services from the Middle East and America, the German centre-back is keen on continuing in Europe.
According to a report from HITC, the player’s representatives are in talks with Tottenham regarding a potential summer move. Hummels’ agents are working hard to find him his next club and they have offered Spurs the opportunity to sign him on a free transfer.
The North London club were linked with him back in 2018 when he was at Bayern Munich. While he is already 35, Hummels has proved that he still has a lot of football left in him. He was one of the most consistent performers for Dortmund last season as they made it to the Champions League final.
Spurs are likely to consider signing him for free because of the amount of experience he has and the fact that he could give Ange Postecoglou’s team some much-needed depth.
While Spurs are currently in talks with his agents regarding a summer move, they are not the only English club who have been handed the opportunity to sign the German star. His representatives have held talks with other Premier League clubs as well. As a result, it will be interesting to see who comes out on top in the race to his signature.
