Tottenham Hotspur handed boost in Borna Sosa pursuit?

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly been given a positive update in their bid to sign Stuttgart defender Borna Sosa.

The Lilywhites are said to have identified Sosa as one of their prime targets heading into the summer transfer window, with Antonio Conte's side reportedly monitoring his situation.

According to The Mirror, they have been handed a major boost as the Bundesliga outfit are set to allow the Croatian international to leave at the end of the campaign should they suffer a relegation to the second tier.

After an important victory over Borussia Monchengladbach at the weekend, Die Roten sit just one point behind the relegation playoff place and three points adrift of automatic safety, although they are now expected to cash in on their left-back regardless at the end of the campaign.

The Croatian has made 20 league appearances for Stuttgart so far this term, providing five assists to take his tally to 20 alongside three goals since his arrival in Germany in 2018, and he is now said to favour a switch to the Premier League.

Sosa also earned his first caps for the national team last year, starting five matches in their World Cup Qualifying campaign.
