Marcel Sabitzer has confirmed that he wants to leave RB Leipzig this summer and Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly favourites to sign him.
According to Bild, the midfielder feels that he has achieved all he can with the German club and is now seeking a fresh challenge in the Premier League.
In addition to a late strike from substitute Emil Forsberg, Sabitzer’s goals completed a 4-0 win on aggregate as Leipzig progressed to the quarter-finals at Tottenham's expense.
Sabitzer, who turned 27 earlier this month, joined his current club in 2014, helping them win promotion to the Bundesliga and then become established as one of the division’s leading forces.
Last season was his most prolific campaign yet as Julian Nagelsmann’s side finished third and made history by reaching the Champions League semi-finals, where they lost 3-0 to Paris Saint-Germain.
Sabitzer has led the way as one of Leipzig’s most consistent performers, setting the tone with his crisp passing and tireless pressing.
The Austrian has 47 caps and started in yesterday’s 3-1 win over the Faroe Islands ahead of a crunch tie against Denmark on Wednesday.
