Tottenham have become the latest club to show an interest in Antonio Rudiger after Chelsea boss Frank Lampard made the centre-back surplus to requirements.
The 27-year-old is understood to prefer a move that would see him stay in the Premier League, but the Blues are wary of offloading Rudiger to a direct competitor for the top spots in the division.
Remaining in England's capital would also be preferable for the defender, whose young family are feeling comfortable since his move to west London.
