Over the past few days, we have seen a number of claims in Spain about the potential sale of Franck Kessie at Barcelona, with Premier League clubs being mentioned without anything concrete being in it.
Sport change all of that on Wednesday, as they report that Tottenham have ‘warned’ the La Liga side that they could enter the race for the Ivory Coast international.
The one caveat in all of this is they would only do so once they have the funds from the sale of Harry Kane, which doesn’t look all that close to being sealed for the moment.
Tottenham believe they could come forward as early as ‘next week’ for the midfielder, but only on the condition of getting rid of the England international first.
It’s worth remembering that both teams are already in talks over the return of Clément Lenglet to Spurs, after the defender spent last season on loan in London.
Despite Juventus and Barcelona being in tentative talks about a loan for Kessie, it’s explained that both the Catalans and the player himself see that move ‘with suspicion’.
All are ‘convinced’ that a better offer can arrive from the Premier League, and it seems Tottenham have now ‘woken up’.
