Tottenham Hotspur showing interest in Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger?

Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger has reportedly emerged as a potential transfer target for Tottenham Hotspur.

Rudiger established himself as a regular under Frank Lampard last season, making a total of 26 appearances during an injury-hit campaign.

However, the Germany international now finds himself down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge, a development which has led to interest from Paris Saint-Germain and West Ham United.

According to Sky Sports News, Spurs have emerged as the latest side to contemplate an approach for the 27-year-old.

While Chelsea are unlikely to consider any loan bid from their North London rivals, they may be prepared to entertain a sale for the right price.

Rudiger has less than two years remaining on his contract, another factor which could lead to a departure in the coming weeks.
