Barcelona enter race for £80m Heung-min Son replacement identified by Tottenham
Tottenham Hotspur are battling three of the biggest clubs in Europe for an exciting winger, who is quickly developing a reputation as one of the best across the continent.
The January window promised so much and delivered so little from a Tottenham perspective, with Conor Gallagher and Souza being the only two first-team additions for the club.
It was reported at the start of the window that Spurs were determined to spend big on a winger, but much to the frustration of the fans, the club failed to strengthen their attack.
One would thus expect a wide player to be a priority for the Lilywhites in the summer, and one RB Leipzig star continues to be heavily linked with a move to N17.
Barcelona ready to challenge Tottenham and others for Yan Diomande
Over recent weeks, reports have continued to suggest that Spurs will try to complete a deal for Yan Diomande, who is also thought to be on the radar of other Premier League giants.
Now, a new report in Fichajes has revealed that Barcelona have joined the race for the winger and are ready to compete with Tottenham, Liverpool and Man United for his signature.
The outlet claims that the Lilywhites view the 19-year-old as a possible heir to Heung-min Son, but Barca also sees him as the ‘perfect fit’ for the left-wing role.
The Catalan club believe Diomande is the ideal profile for Hansi Flick’s system, and they have already held private meetings with the player’s representatives.
Clear frontrunners have emerged in Diomande race
Fichajes also back up what we have heard from other sources over the last month by stating that Liverpool appear to be at the front of the queue for the Leipzig star.
However, Barca are hoping that the allure of Flick’s project can entice Diomande and have already ‘laid the groundwork for a deal’, which is expected to face both financial and bureaucratic hurdles.
The report adds that Leipzig’s asking price remains the biggest hurdle for the Catalan club to try and seal a deal for the pacy wide-man.
It has been claimed by some sources that it would take over £80m to prise Diomande away from Leipzig this summer.
