Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy is willing to sanction a £30 million summer move to try to snatch midfielder Andre Gomes from under the noses of Everton.

Gomes has impressed during his season-long loan spell at Everton and the Toffees are desperate to sign him on a permanent deal from Barcelona.

But they are set to face stiff competition from Spurs, as well as other clubs, who believe the 25 year-old could prove to be a bargain.

Tottenham considered signing Gomes on loan in January 2018 and have monitored his progress ever since.

Pochettino has made it clear that Tottenham need to spend this summer, as he plots how to refresh his squad.

Following the departure of Mousa Dembele and with doubts over the future of Christian Eriksen, one of Pochettino’s main priorities will be to strengthen his midfield.

Gomes is ready to wait until the end of the season before considering his options, but does not expect to return to Barcelona.

Asked about his future, Gomes said: “To be honest, I try not to think about that. One thing football has given to me is teach me how to manage situations and how to enjoy it day by day.

“Every day is a new challenge and every weekend in the Premier League is a new challenge. So I try to think only in the present.

“If I think further ahead than that then I will probably lose my mind in some way. So I am trying to finish the season in the best way possible, give my best in every training session and in every game. We will see in the end.”

Tottenham also retain an interest in Ryan Sessegnon, who is expected to leave Fulham following their relegation, and have previously considered a bid for striker Aleksandar Mitrovic. Norwich right-back Max Aarons and Swansea City’s Daniel James are also on their radar.

Despite needing to pay for the club’s new stadium, Levy will make money available to Pochettino this summer that could be boosted substantially by player sales.

Other than Eriksen, there are doubts over the future of Toby Alderweireld, while the likes of Kieran Trippier and Jan Vertonghen could attract tempting bids from elsewhere.
