Some Spurs fans react to Marcel Sabitzer’s performance for Austria

Some Spurs fans on social media were left extremely impressed by Marcel Sabitzer’s display in Austria’s 3-1 win over North Macedonia on Sunday. 

Although Sabitzer did not get on the scoresheet for Austria, he put in an all-action display in midfield and set up his side’s opening goal with a lovely cross into the box.

The RB Leipzig star, who has just 12 months left to run on his contract, was heavily linked with a move to Spurs during the January transfer window and the North Londoners are reportedly laying the groundwork to pull of a potential deal for him this summer.

Even Alasdair Gold has backed Tottenham to compete for the 27-year-old’s signature this transfer window.

The Athletic reported last week that Leipzig could sell the versatile midfielder for a cut-price fee of around €17.5m (£15m) due to his contract situation.

Some Spurs fans believe that if Sabitzer is indeed available for such a price, it would be a no brainer for the club to snap him up.

Here’s how they reacted after watching the Leipzig man help his nation to make a winning start to their European Championship campaign:

Following Dele Alli’s drop off, we have lacked goals from midfield and Sabitzer will certainly help remedy that and the fact that he is available on a cut-price deal makes him an attractive option. However, it remains to be seen if the Austrian is still high on our wishlist as our priority targets could well have changed after Fabio Paratici’s arrival.
