Chelsea boost as Dani Olmo's agent speaks out about the club to benefit from Spurs indifference

Bayern Munich are leading the way on signing Spanish winger Dani Olmo after reports linked the wide player to Tottenham Hotspur.

The ex-Barcelona midfielder, who left to join Dinamo Zagreb in 2014, can play centrally as well as down either flank and had been tipped to join Mauricio Pochettino's squad as a successor to Erik Lamela.

However, football.london understand that he is not a top target for Spurs this summer.

Leeds United winger Jack Clarke has already been signed by Tottenham and will become a first team player next summer after a season on loan at Elland Road.

If Olmo were to leave Croatia for Munich during the current transfer window his switch to Germany would also come as a boost to Chelsea.

Bayern tried to sign Blues winger Callum Hudson-Odoi in January before the departure of Eden Hazard to Real Madrid this summer.

The Englishman is now set to play a vital role in replacing the Belgian in Frank Lampard's starting XI once he has recovered from injury.

Speaking to Sportske Jutarnji, as translated by Goal.com's Ronan Murphy , agent Andy Bara discussed Olmo moving to the German champions.

"Bayern have the best scouts in the world and if such a club shows interest, it's good," he said.

"It's a big club, and there's no player on this planet who wouldn't want to play in such a club."
