Reports from earlier this afternoon suggest Tottenham are hoping to sign a creative midfielder before tonight’s 11pm transfer deadline.
London Evening Standard report that Spurs have been in contact with Everton today to discuss a potential deal for Ross Barkley, a player they’ve been linked with for much of the summer.
But a Deadline Day alternative has emerged in the form of Barcelona man Andre Gomes, with Sky Sports reporting that the Spanish giants are essentially offering out the Portugal international in a bid to sell some players.
The 6 foot 2 playmaker is a fine talent and was part of the Portugal squad that won the European Championship last summer. Transfermarkt value him at £22.5million.
But Barkley, who also measures in at 6 foot 2, offers an abundance of Premier League experience in comparison to Gomes and would fit well into Tottenham’s blossoming English contingent, having represented the Three Lions on 22 occasions.
So, Spurs fans, which midfielder should your club sign? Let us know by voting below…
Sorry folks, this poll is now closed!
