  DID YOU KNOW?

  Royal was reportedly the subject of a failed bid from Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr in the January transfer window. Spurs' injury issues this season have meant that Royal has been required to feature across Ange Postecoglou's back-line, although he has largely had to settle for a place on the bench in recent weeks.

• WHAT NEXT?

  Tottenham face the prospect of a busy summer window as Postecoglou knows he will need to strengthen his squad with the added burden of European football to come. While Royal has provided useful depth and versatility this year, Spurs would likely welcome to opportunity to bank a sizeable fee for the defender which would help with their summer spending plans. For Royal, a move to Bayern would see him reunited with former Spurs teammates Eric Dier and Harry Kane.
