Report: Tottenham keen on 23-yr-old German, but face competition from Dortmund
Tottenham are interested in signing the Freiburg defender Robin Koch this summer. As per Bild (via GGFN), the Londoners have been monitoring the Germany international for a while now.

Dortmund are thought to be keen on the player as well and Spurs might have to move quickly if they want to sign the player. They cannot afford to be involved in a bidding w...

He scored one in four in Germany, he did a similar sort of ratio in Austria and then had one good season at Hoffenheim. “The money has been a massive burden for him. Steve Bruce has given him a kick as well, saying he isn’t a natural finisher. It doesn’t help when your manager is putting the boot in. “I don’t see him having a long-term future at Newcastle.
