Spurs are interested in a £30million move for Bayern Munich winger Douglas Costa.

The north Londoners are sizing up potential targets as they bid to return to the Champions League next season and are aware that Costa, 26, is unsettled in Germany.

The Brazilian has made just 17 starts this season and is ready to quit this summer in search of more regular first-team action.

Costa, who would cost between £25m-£30m, featured as Bayern put Arsenal out of the Champions League earlier this year. He scored at the Emirates as the north Londoners were crushed 10-2 on aggregate.

But he has clashed with his own club over his current contract, which expires in 2020. In February Bayern president Uli Hoeness warned Costa that his “desperate attempts” to get an improved deal would not work.

Hoeness said at the time: “That doesn’t work with us. He can try 10 more times. He is certainly not a hardship case.”

Costa has since responded by admitting he is considering his options. He said: “I cannot comment on names, there are contacts with teams from England, Spain and also France. But we respect Bayern.

“First we want to get together with them and look at what they think of it, and then we make a decision.

“I am still under contract with FC Bayern until 2020, I have three more years. Of course, football is a business, Bayern simply has to accept a bid and the others pay what they have to pay.”
