Tottenham are reportedly lining up a £27million bid to seal the transfer of Barcelona midfielder Denis Suarez ahead of Napoli in a surprise hijack.

The north Londoners are yet to make any signings so far this summer but have recently been strongly linked with a move for Ajax defender Davinson Sanchez.

However, Mauricio Pochettino’s focus now seems to be on adding some spark to his midfield options with a move for the highly-rated Suarez in a £27m deal.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Napoli had looked to be leading the running for the 23-year-old’s signature, before late interest from Tottenham threatened the move.




Long regarded as a big prospect at the Nou Camp, Suarez was poached from Manchester City’s youth team in 2013, but has since struggled to make the step up to Bara’s senior side.

This could provide an opportunity for Spurs to lure him to England with the promise of more playing time, though Pochettino isn’t exactly short of midfielders as it is.

Victor Wanyama, Mousa Dembele and Eric Dier were all key figures for Pochettino’s side last season, though a creative player like Suarez could arguably give them something a little different in the middle.

Tottenham finished second in the Premier League last season and will want to build a squad now capable of going that one step further to winning the title.
