Tottenham left back Danny Rose is discussing a move to Bundesliga side Schalke.

The England international will be allowed to leave on an initial loan with view to making the deal a permanent.

The 28-year-old has struggled to regain a regular spot in Mauricio Pochettino's starting XI after a series of injuries and Ben Davies' excellent form.

Along with Toby Alderweireld and Mousa Dembele, Rose has been touted as a player who will likely leave the club before the window shuts on Thursday evening.

Rose has faced an uncertain future at White Hart Lane after openly criticising the club's wage structure in an interview before the start of last season.

Despite returning to full fitness, Rose only managed 10 appearances for Spurs last season and even fell down the pecking order in the England set up behind Ashley Young, where he played a handful of times at the World Cup in Russia.

The move to Germany could reinvigorate his career, having previously been linked with moves to Manchester United and Everton.

Schalke finished second behind Bayern Munich in the league last season and will be competing in the Champions League this season.
