According to CaughOffside, Tottenham Hotspur is currently planning to recruit RB Leipzig’s Lois Openda
Tottenham have been linked with multiple strikers in recent weeks as Ange Postecoglou looks to add on-field reinforcements ahead of his second season in charge
CaughtOffside say the Spurs boss is “keen to make sure” he won’t fall short next term, with Openda the latest name to appear on the club’s shortlist
The 24-year-old has enjoyed an exceptional first season in the Bundesliga since leaving Lens last summer, scoring 28 goals in all competitions in 2023-24
Tottenham love the look of Lois Openda CaughtOffside claim Spurs can now move forward with a move for the Belgium international, who is said to be ahead of Porto star Evanilson on Postecoglou’s wish list
BILD previously reported last month that Openda had also become a target for Man Utd, who are looking to add a big-name striker to their squad
The newspaper claims Leipzig will not let their star striker leave on the cheap, revealing that the player is under contract with the club until 2028 and has a release clause of 80 million euros (68,000,000 euros)

Spurs Web Opinion With Leipzig qualifying for the Champions League next season, I don’t see them being willing to sell Openda unless they receive a big offer for the 24-year-old
Tottenham is negotiating with RB Leipzig to extend Timo Werner’s loan contract for another season
The former Chelsea striker joined Spurs in January on an initial loan deal until the end of the season and scored twice in 14 appearances upon his return to London
This deal has the potential for Tottenham to complete a permanent transfer this summer for a fee of around £15m
However, it appears Spurs are in talks to extend Werner’s loan deal for another year
The 28-year-old has proven to be a useful option under boss Ange Postecoglou, who wants to keep him at the club
Former Stuttgart frontman Werner, who had a difficult two years at Chelsea between 2020 and 2022 before returning to Leipzig, looks keen to stay at Spurs after finding his form in the second half of the season
Speaking about the prospect of keeping Werner earlier this month, Postecoglou said: “Timo, we’ve signed a loan deal until the end of the season and he’s part of that strategy to see what we need to do next
this summer and can we make it
”
“Are there any other gaps and where does Timo fit into this strategy
So we had a plan in place, regardless ‘he was very good to us
“We are missing important areas
His arrival has been very helpful for us and I think he’s had an impact, but in my mind, to make those final decisions, I still need some clarity on what they are
I was here first
Tottenham also confirmed a new contract for third-choice goalkeeper Brandon Austin, who signed a five-year extension until the summer of 2029 on Tuesday
