Report: Real Madrid star’s agent will sound out Spurs ahead of January
With four Champions League crowns and three La Liga crowns since joining the team from Bayern Munich back in 2014, Kroos will go down as one of Madrid’s greatest superstars.
The 33-year-old’s contract at the Santiago Bernabeu expires in the summer of 2020, so it is currently believed that his immediate future is uncertain.
The Sun reports that Kroos’ agents are holding out to see if Los Blancos extend an offer to him. Given that the German has long wanted to try out English football, it is suggested that if they are unable to achieve it before Christmas, he might transfer to the Premier League in January.

Toni Kroos could take a look at Tottenham Hotspur
According to the source, Kroos’ representatives will get in touch with Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal, and the two Manchester teams if Real Madrid does not start contract negotiations quickly.
Despite having worked with Pep Guardiola at Bayern Munich, the World Cup champion is reportedly more likely to sign with Tottenham in January, according to the article.
In conclusion, the article states that if Carlo Ancelotti’s team does not present Kroos with a new contract, they will settle for a “nominal fee” in January.
Even while a player with Kroos’ caliber and experience will undoubtedly benefit the team greatly, he does not match the Spurs signing profile, especially with Postecoglou in charge, who is more interested in developing young players than big-name stars.

Tottenham Hotspur ‘seriously considering’ signing Manchester United outcast Jadon Sancho
Unexpectedly, Tottenham Hotspur has been mentioned as a possible destination for Manchester United reject Jaydon Sancho.
Following the Red Devils’ Premier League loss to Arsenal earlier this season, the England international practically called the manager a liar, earning him a banishment from Erik ten Hag’s side. He hasn’t apologized yet, and it appears that the club isn’t where his future is at.
Tottenham is “seriously considering” making a move for the 23-year-old, who is estimated to be worth €35 million, according to Fernandes. Sancho is no longer with Manchester United, but life goes on.
Considering that they have already dropped five games this season, they aren’t exactly doing all that great. But Ten Hag’s preferred options along the flanks are Antony, Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, and Facundo Pellistri.
What to do?
It’s possible to argue that Sancho’s stock price has never dropped in recent years. Manchester United paid a whooping £73 million to sign him in 2021 since he was a standout at Borussia Dortmund.
Here is an excellent opportunity for Spurs to sign a very outstanding guy. Undoubtedly, Ten Hag’s story demonstrates that, particularly when he isn’t getting enough playing time, he can be a difficult character to control in the locker room.
Might that present an issue in this case? Our skipper is Son Heung-min, and our great player down that right wing is Dejan Kulusevski. However, we need more depth on the sides as evidenced by the injuries to Manor Solomon and Ivan Perisic.
Moreover, since we didn’t sign a replacement for Harry Kane specifically, Richarlison can now be played as a No. 9. Perisic isn’t exactly getting any younger, and Bryan Gil hasn’t exactly made a mark here.
The 23-year-old Sancho might be a fantastic addition. The astute man-manager Ange Postecoglou would have conducted the required background checks and scouting to bring the English winger on board if he had chosen to pursue the former Manchester City youth player.
For a full England international who hasn’t yet reached his prime, the aforementioned cost also appears to be reasonable. At that price, there’s barely any reason not to move forward with his acquisition.
