Reports in the German media have claimed Spurs manager Juande Ramos is ready to pay £10million to bring Podolski to the Premier League, while Serie A side Juventus are also interested.

Podolski, Germany's leading scorer throughout the qualifying campaign and at Euro 2008, has failed to cement a first-team place at Bayern Munich despite his form for his country.

Forward thinking: Podolski (left) could be set for a move to White Hart Lane

Jurgen Klinsmann, who gave Podolski his international debut, will take over as Munich coach next season but it now appears the Polish-born star could have left the Bavarian giants before then.

Podolski told German daily Express: "I was informed of the interest of both of these clubs (Spurs and Juventus) and I find it very interesting."

Podolski, the outstanding young player at 2006 World Cup, joined Bayern for £8m two years ago after a spectacular start to his career with Cologne.

But his Munich career has largely failed to ignite under Ottmar Hitzfeld.

Tottenham manager Ramos is facing a fight to keep hold of his star forward Dimitar Berbatov, who is attracting interest from a number of Europe's leading clubs including AC Milan and Manchester United.
