Borussia Dortmund poised to sign Tottenham transfer target Maximilian Philipp from Freiburg

Borussia Dortmund are close to tying up a deal for Tottenham target Maximilian Philipp.

The Freiburg forward is a wanted man this summer and Spurs are one of several clubs chasing him.

However, after Marco Reus recently suffered a serious knee injury which could rule him out until October, Dortmund have joined the race.

And now, according to Bild, the German club are on the cusp of wrapping up a deal for Philipp.

Dortmund are reportedly forking over £17.5m to land the 23-year-old, which meets the German's release-clause.

Philipp is now putting the final touches to personal terms ahead of a move to Westfalenstadion after a medical was reportedly completed on Monday night.
