£22m star say goodbye to club as player arrive in England to sign for Tottenham

Borna Sosa is said to have informed his Stuttgart teammates that he is leaving, with the Premier League being a dream destination for the left-back linked to West Ham, Tottenham Hotspur, and Newcastle United.

And the Croatian international triumphantly exits the Mercedes-Benz Arena. Stuttgart crushed Hamburg 6-1 in the relegation play-off over two legs, retaining their Bundesliga membership emphatically in the end.

Even the most ardent VFB fan would have to admit that Sosa deserves better than struggling for survival at the bottom of the table.The Zagreb-born 25-year-old is one of Europe’s most inventive full-backs, having been linked with West Ham, Tottenham, and Newcastle, among others. (Index)

His wicked deliveries from the left flank could undoubtedly be utilised to good effect at a club with more reliable forwards; Sosa assisting 31 Bundesliga goals in three seasons for a largely failing side.

Is Borna Sosa on his way to the Premier League?

Sosa has already said ‘goodbye’ to his Stuttgart teammates, according to BILD via BuliNews, with Tuesday’s 3-1 second leg win over HSV set to be his final appearance for the 2007 Bundesliga champions.

“Every player sets goals for himself in his career. “I want to play in a team that is represented in Europe if possible,” Sosa recently told BILD, shortly after a January trade to Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen fell through.

“Like many other players, I aspire to play in the Premier League one day.” It is the world’s most powerful league. Other than the big six best clubs, the other teams are also strong.”

Only Eddie Howe’s Newcastle, West Ham, and Tottenham finished in Europe last season.

All three clubs, however, appear to be seeking for a left-sided defender. Sosa, like Arsenal’s Kierney Tierney, has the push and crossing ability to succeed at St James’ Park, whilst West Ham need a left-back with the flare of Aaron Cresswell on the wing.

Tottenham, currently led by Ange Postecoglou, may lose Ivan Perisic, a former Inter Milan midfielder who is a ‘Conte’s man’.

Spurs do have Udinese loanee Destiny Udogie.

Tottenham began talks with Sosa a few months ago, according to BILD reporter Christian Falk.
