Spurs may have been handed a transfer boost as Max Meyer is reportedly NOT in contract talks with Schalke over a new deal.

The 21-year-old will be moving in to the last year of his current contract next season, meaning that he could leave the club for a fraction of the £45 million they were asking for last summer.

Recent reports have suggested that a £17 million bid could be enough to tempt Schalke in this coming window.

And, according to talkSPORT, the midfielder is not in any discussions over a new deal - despite the player himself recently saying that he was happy at Schalke.

The report carries quotes from sporting director Christian Heidel - who has hinted that Meyer could be about to leave the club.

"At the moment it does not make any sense to think about it," Heidel told Bild. "Max has to convince the coach that he belongs in the starting 11."

Both Tottenham and Liverpool are set to battle it out for the 21-year-old's signature in the upcoming transfer window.
