TOTTENHAM are considering a January move for Barcelona star Franck Kessie, according to reports.
The midfielder signed for the Spanish giants as a free agent last summer.
But he has started just two LaLiga matches and made only seven league appearances in total.
Barcelona are open to Kessie leaving but they want to sign a replacement first, according to Sport.
The report also outlines Tottenham’s interest, while revealing Kessie’s future will be decided this month.
The former AC Milan star had wanted to wait until June to assess his options, but there are offers on the table including one from Spurs.
