Tottenham Hotspur keen on Andre Hoffmann?

Tottenham Hotspur scouts have reportedly watched Hannover 96 midfielder Andre Hoffmann in action.

The 20-year-old broke into Die Roten's starting lineup last year and he has gone on to make 14 appearances this season.

His progress has alerted Spurs manager Tim Sherwood, who has received positive reports from his scouting team, according to talkSPORT.

The German youth international, who is also thought to be of interest to two Italian clubs, has a contract with Hannover that is not due to expire until the summer of 2016.
