Tottenham are ready to make a £5million bid for Bayern Munich winger Julian Green, with Mauricio Pochettino hopeful of making him his first signing.

Green, 18, is highly-rated by the Bundesliga champions, but despite being selected for the USA team for the World Cup, he is not close to breaking into the Bayern first-team.

Pochettino had the winger watched at youth level during his time at Southampton, and after being installed as Spurs’ new boss, he is ready to launch a £5million bid.

According to reports, Green wants to move to another European team in order to gain more experience and secure his place in the US side moving forward.




A fast, agile and direct winger, Green scored 15 goals in 23 appearances for Bayern’s reserve team last term, but has never made his Bundesliga debut.

He currently has two caps for the US after switching allegiances from Germany in March.
