Meyer settled at Schalke

Max Meyer has reaffirmed his commitment to Schalke after being heavily linked with Tottenham late in the transfer window.

Spurs were rumoured to be chasing the signature of the 20-year-old attacking midfielder, but a switch failed to materialise, Mauricio Pochettino’s men instead bringing Moussa Sissoko from Newcastle United to White Hart Lane on deadline day.

Meyer, who progressed from Schalke’s youth set-up to the first team and has been capped three times by Germany, is content – for now at least – to continue demonstrating his quality at Veltins-Arena.
