Bayern Munich are reportedly targeting a move for Tottenham forward Son Heung-min.
Son has notched 18 goals and 16 assists in 41 appearances in another standout season for Spurs, but talks over a new contract are said to have stalled with two years left on his current deal.
And Football Insider claim Bayern Munich are looking to take advantage of the impasse and are readying a £200,000-a-week five-year package to lure the forward back to the Bundesliga.

Son enjoyed five successful years in Germany with Hamburg and Bayer Leverkusen, scoring 41 goals, before joining Spurs for £22million in 2015.
He’s gone on to form a formidable partnership with Harry Kane in north London and has reached double figures for Premier League goals in his last five seasons.
The report adds that Bayern could wait until next summer to secure Son’s services as they would likely be able to sign him for a cut-price fee with just one year then remaining on his contract.
But Spurs fear Son could force through a move this summer, particularly should they go another year without silverware and fail to finish in the top four.
The next two months could well be key to keeping both Son and partner in crime Kane, who has also been tipped to leave the club if the same goals aren’t met.
Jose Mourinho’s side were knocked out of the Europa League in embarrassing fashion by Dinamo Zagreb, but retain the chance of ending their 13-year trophyless run as they take on Manchester City in the Carabao Cup later this month.
They currently sit three points behind fourth-placed Chelsea but face a multi-team battle to secure a top four spot and Champions League qualification.
Son was asked about his Tottenham future at a press conference back in February but refused to discuss the situation in the middle of the season.
He said: “It’s a bit unfair to talk about a new contract at the moment, I am focused on the games and my team and that is the most important thing at the moment.
“I’m happy to be here and I’m working hard as a player and the team.”
