Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton have both reportedly identified Sven Bender as a potential target for this summer's transfer window.
The defensive midfielder has been linked with a cut-price move away from Borussia Dortmund after the club failed to qualify for next season's Champions League and Jurgen Klopp's departure.
The Daily Mail reports that the German international could be available once new boss Thomas Tuchel assesses is squad in July, with Tottenham and Southampton at the front of the queue to sign the 26-year-old.
Bender, who is under contract until 2017, is thought to be valued at around £20m by the Bundesliga side.
