Tottenham FC transfer news: Schalke defender Sead Kolasinac 'offered £5million-a-year to make Spurs switch'

Tottenham have stepped up their pursuit of highly sought-after Schalke defender Sead Kolasinac.

The Bosnian is out of contract in the summer and is attracting much interest, with Chelsea, Everton, Juventus and Atletico Madrid all eyeing him.

But, according to reports in Germany, it is Spurs who have made the first move by offering Kolasinac a mega-money deal.

The north Londoners are said to have put forward a contract for the 23-year-old which is worth in excess of £5million-a-year.

Schalke have offered the defender around £3.8m per-year to remain at the Bundesliga club, but that is well short of Spurs' offer.
