It’s not every day that a player chooses Tottenham over FC Barcelona, but for Lucas Bergvall, it was a calculated decision that’s starting to pay off. The young Swedish midfielder made headlines when he snubbed the Catalan giants in favour of a move to North London last year.

Tottenham Hotspur have been vying to bring in highly regarded young players at White Hart Lane and unlock their true potential as part of their newfound transfer strategy.

Tottenham Hotspur are considering a loan move for Barcelona forward Ansu Fati, who could leave the Catalan club in January.

With a depleted squad and a star like Son Heung-min perhaps past his peak, some of Spurs’ issues are superficial; others run a little deeper.

This has caught the attention of Tottenham, who will surely look to further reinforce their team this month, though the North London side are not the only team to hold an interest in the £226,000-a-week winger who, according to Sport, could depart on a six-month loan deal.

Tottenham could inadvertently help Marcus Rashford to secure his preferred move out of Manchester United this month, with reports detailing the latest on Barcelona's interest as well as a Spurs 'offer' that unlocks their deal.

TBR Football's Graeme Bailey says Tottenham Hotspur are among the clubs made aware of the availability of Barcelona defender Eric Garcia.

Tottenham Hotspur have been looking to sign ... and the North Londoners are reportedly considering bringing in Barcelona’s once highly regarded prospect Ansu Fati to White Hart Lane.

Barcelona are desperately trying to offload Ansu Fati before deadline day amid interest from Tottenham in the winger.

So far this month Spurs have signed just one player. Goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky joined from Slavia Prague to provide cover for Guglielmo Vicario and Fraser Forster, who have both suffered with injuries and time on the sidelines this season. Young winger Min-hyeok Yang has also arrived, though that was a deal negotiated in the summer.
