From the source

It first emerged in October that Spurs are exploring a move for Alex Baena, who has had an excellent start to the season for Atletico Madrid.

The versatile forward’s preferred position is left-wing, but he can also operate as a 10 or a makeshift nine. Following his impressive showing at the World Cup, he has made a big impact in the Spanish capital.

TEAMtalk reveal that Bayern Munich are the other side to have shown ‘serious interest’ in the former Villarreal man, with the German club already said to have made ‘initial movements’ towards the player in light of their injuries in attack.
