Signing him would have been a huge coup for Tottenham. However, Leipzig could now land the 20-year-old. The Bundesliga outfit is the sister club of Salzburg from where they have signed a number of players in the past such as Dayot Upamecano, Marcel Sabitzer, Hee Chan-Hwang among others.
And, it won’t come as a surprise if Szoboszlai also follows the same path come next month.
