Bayern Munich defender Daniel van Buyten is close to a move to the Premiership with Tottenham, Everton, Fulham and Sunderland all touted as potential suitors, according to the player’s agent Christophe Henrotay.

Van Buyten, who joined the German-giants in June 2006 following a move from Hamburger SV, has struggled to hold down a starting slot since Ottmar Hitzfeld’s return to the club at the beginning of 2007, and it appears that he has now decided to seek pastures anew in his quest for regular football.
