Tottenham are expected to have a busy old summer in the transfer market and they could end up landing a Barcelona star as they look for new players.
Manager Ange Postecoglou has made no secret of his desire to strengthen the ranks. Daniel Levy is expected to back his man as well, with a number of positions targeted.
Tottenham’s season and Champions League push has whimpered a bit in recent weeks and Postecoglou will want players of sufficient quality to improve his squad.

One such player they have been linked with landing is Barcelona winger, Raphinha.
And according to reports from Spain, Barca might just be willing to cash in on the Brazilian.
Barcelona will sell Raphinha after he’s been offered to Tottenham
According to Spanish outlet, Sport, the La Liga giants are willing to listen to offers for Raphinha as the summer window gets underway soon.
It is no secret that Barcelona have financial issues and every summer they seem to be under pressure to sell one or two players.
This time, it looks like Raphinha could be one of the stars they look to offload.
Of course, we know from our exclusive report on TBR Football that Tottenham and Arsenal are among a number of clubs who have been offered the chance to sign Raphinha this summer.
TBR sources indicate that a price tag north of the £50m or so they shelled out will be required.
How has Raphinha done at Barcelona since signing from Leeds?

To be fair to Raphinha, he has adapted well to life at one of the world’s biggest clubs since making the move from Leeds.
To go to the Nou Camp and perform is hard and the Brazilian has actually mustered up nine goals and 12 assists in an impressive debut season.
Indeed, you can see why Tottenham would want the winger as well. Postecoglou is big on getting attacks going in wide areas with pace and we all know from his ‘unbelievable‘ form at Leeds that Raphinha brings those elements to the table.
At more than £50m, he is an expensive buy. But Tottenham have to improve and after splashing £47m on Brennan Johnson last year, Raphinha might be worth the extra.
