Target: Spurs want Bayern striker Mario Gomez (Picture: Getty)

Tottenham are lining up a move for out-of-favour Bayern Munich striker Mario Gomez.

Gomez, 27, has proven himself as a prolific striker in German football, having bagged 159 goals in 279 games during spells at Stuttgart and Bayern.

But despite being part of the side that won a historic treble last season, Bayern have told him to find him a new club, with his agent revealing Gomez is looking for a switch away.

‘As far as I’m concerned, Mario will definitely get a transfer this summer,’ said agent Uli Ferber.


‘He will be leaving Bayern Munich.’

Napoli and Bayer Leverkusen have both expressed an interest in Gomez, but is now understood that Tottenham have emerged as the front runners.



Andre Villas-Boas is desperate to land a proven finisher, and with talks failing to move forward with Internacional over Leandro Damiao, Gomez has emerged as a key target.

Spurs would be willing to offer around £7million for the striker, and would be happy to offer him around £70,000-a-week in wages.

Gomez is expected to meet with Tottenham officials in German next week to discuss his future.
