Tottenham Hotspur and Malaga are the latest clubs to show an interest in Stuttgart defender Serdar Tasci, according to a report in Bild.

The German international is believed to be close to a summer exit, with Juventus and Zenit St Petersburg also being linked with the player.

Tasci is likely to cost any potential suitor up to £12.5 million as the player has another three years left to run on his current contract.

Reports emerging from Germany state Spurs and Malaga have been in contact with the player’s advisor Uli Ferber, who has refused to comment on speculation.

“I do not want to comment on new links every week,” Ferber told Bild.

Harry Redknapp is looking to strengthen his squad during the summer as the club look to push for a Champions League spot next season, after narrowly missing out last campaign.

Ambitious Malaga have received a huge cash injection from new investors and are reported to have between €60-70m to spend.

Tasci endured an indifferent campaign last season, making just 26 Bundesliga appearances as Stuttgart battled against relegation.
