31 May 2012 15:12

Bundesliga side Schalke 04 are on the trail of Tottenham's attacking midfielder Rafael van der Vaart, according to reports.

Dutch international van der Vaart is linked with Spurs until June 2014, but the player's agent Robert Geerlings told the German magazine Kicker: "I can confirm that Schalke are interested (in signing Van der Vaart)."

Van der Vaart, who scored the second goal Wednesday for the Netherlands in a 2-0 win over Slovakia, a warm-up match for Euro 2012, said would not rule out moving to Germany.

"Normally, I'm staying with Tottenham, but in football you can never say what's going to happen," said van der Vaart.
