Southampton and Tottenham are both set to miss out on long-term transfer target Joe Aribo.
According to the Independent, the Charlton ace is pursuing a move to Germany during the January transfer window with an exit from The Valley looming.
Frankfurt and Portuguese outfit Benfica are being heavily linked with a move to sign the Englishman.
Both Southampton and Spurs have been monitoring his development for some time, but he clearly wants to take his career abroad.
Championship side Derby County have also been known admirers.
Following the rise of both Jadon Sancho and Reiss Nelson this season, English youngsters are being urged to move abroad in a bid to secure regular first-team football at a high level.
Aribo has been expected to move on from Charlton following the problems behind the scenes at the club.
The promising youngster had been offered a contract extension, but they were always going to struggle to keep hold of their key player as interest began to mount.
