Tottenham are reportedly ready to pay a club-record £38million to seal the transfer of Schalke midfielder Max Meyer.

The Germany international is rated as one of the best young talents in Europe at the moment, and has been linked with top Premier League clubs in the past.

Latest reports from Bild say Spurs are now ready to step up their interest in the 20-year-old with a £38m bid on deadline day.

Tottenham's most expensive signings Erik Lamela – £30m

Roberto Soldado – £26m

Son Heung-min – £22m

Paulinho – £17m

Luka Modric, Darren Bent – £16.5m

Meyer won Olympic silver with the German national team at this summer’s games in Rio, and has also won the European Under-17 Championships at youth level with his country.




Tottenham have spent £39million this summer, but could still do with more quality and creativity in midfield, which Meyer has shown he could provide after some impressive displays in the Bundesliga.
