Nicolas Gonzalez is attracting interest from Spurs but Jose Mourinho’s side face competition from Juventus<\/a>, according to Ornstein.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old Stuttgart winger joined the Bundesliga<\/a> outfit from Argentinos Juniors in 2018. Despite being part of the Die Roten<\/i> side that suffered relegation to 2. Bundesliga in the relegation playoff defeat against Union Berlin<\/a>, the winger has improved since.<\/p>\n

Following the return of football following Germany’s lockdown as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, Gonzalez netted eight times from nine games as Stuttgart returned to the top flight.<\/p>\n

Following Die Roten’s<\/i> promotion, Gonzalez was handed a new deal, extending his stay at the Mercedes-Benz Arena until the summer of 2024. This season, the Argentine has added five goals from 11 appearances, including a goal and assist in the weekend win at Augsburg, and has found the net twice from two games for his national side.<\/p>\n

Interest From Tottenham and Juventus<\/h3>\n

According to the report, Leeds United<\/a> had previously been monitoring the 22-year-old, but now it’s Spurs and Juventus who are keeping tabs on the winger.<\/p>\n

Talks are at a preliminary stage for now, but both clubs are looking to add depth at their respective squads.<\/p>\n

According to Ornstein, Stuttgart don’t have a release clause in his current contract. However, Die Roten<\/i> would be looking for a fee in the region of \u20ac30 million for the winger.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Gonzalez made the switch in 2018 for a fee of around \u00a37.5 million, leaving the Bundesliga club with a significant profit from a potential sale.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
