Tottenham Hotspur have lined up Gylfi Sigurdsson as a better alternative to current transfer target Ross Barkley, according to reports.

The Daily Star and others are suggesting the Swansea City star could return to White Hart Lane in a shock move if Spurs' reported interest in Everton man Barkley bears no fruit.

Sigurdsson has been impressive this season, scoring nine times from midfield and Pochettino is a known admirer of the Ice Man.

Spurs want to beef up their attacking options ahead of another tilt at the Premier League title next term, after narrowly missing out to newly-crowned champions Chelsea. The reports say Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is ready to sanction a move, with Pochettino believing the White Hart Lane club should never have sold Sigurdsson in the first place.

Sigurdsson, 27, who claimed the Player Of The Year award at Swansea's end-of-season, struggled in a two-year spell with Tottenham.

Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli have gone on to become first choice picks in Pochettino's side, but the Argentine may be lining up a bid, reported to be in the region of £25million.
