      And, according to Sport, under pressure boss Ronald Koeman has identified Manchester United man Donny van de Beek as someone he would like to add to his squad.
      The 24-year-old Dutchman struggled to make any sort of impact during his first campaign at Old Trafford last season.
      And things haven’t improved much at the start of the new season as he has started just one of Man Utd’s seven Premier League games.
      A move to Barca could give Van de Beek a second chance to rediscover the form he showed at Ajax.
      Another man who Koeman’s side are looking at closely is Tottenham’s Tanguy Ndombele.
      The Frenchman arrived in North London for a club record fee of £55million in 2019 but has found it difficult to sustain a lengthy period of consistency.

      Ndombele enjoyed some good form last season but then handed in a transfer request in the summer.
      He was offered to Barcelona as Spurs looked to offload him, but the Spanish side could not afford the 24-year-old due to their financial problems.
      Two other midfielders the club are looking at currently reside in Serie A and are set to become free agents in the summer.
      Inter Milan’s Marcelo Brozovic and AC Milan’s Franck Kessie both have contracts that expire at the end of the season.

      And Barcelona could look to take full advantage of that situation by snapping them up in January.
      Koeman’s side have suffered a very tough start to the season, winning just three of their first seven LaLiga games.
      They have also been beaten 3-0 in both their Champions League matches by Bayern Munich and Benfica.

      Tottenham ‘eye Juventus star Dejan Kulusevski transfer’ with new sporting director Paratici giving Spurs huge advantage

      by

      TOTTENHAM are tracking Juventus star Dejan Kulusevski ahead of a possible January transfer, according to reports.The Swedish forward, 21, cost an initial £30million when signed by the Old Lady last year but he has yet to meet expectations in Turin.
      Fabio Paratici is reportedly a big fan of Juventus ace Dejan Kulusevski
      A tally of just seven goals in 54 appearances has led to reduced playing time under Massimiliano Allegri.
      Kulusevski again had to make do with coming off the bench against Sampdoria on the weekend, but did set up the third goal of a 3-2 win.
      Tottenham are said by the Mirror to have sent scouts to watch the winger in action.
      However their trip resulted in just a seven-minute outing in the Champions League game with Malmo earlier this month.
      Spurs are said to be monitoring Kulusevski’s situation with a move in January potentially opening up if he remains out of the Juventus line-up.
      One ace up the Premier League club’s sleeve could be Fabio Paratici, the sporting director who joined in the summer after a stint with the Serie A team.

      The Italian is described as a huge fan of Kulusevski and spearheaded his move from Atalanta after a promising loan spell with Parma last season.
      And there are growing calls from the player’s homeland of Sweden to push for regular first-team football at Juve, or seek a move elsewhere.
      Sven-Goran Eriksson has told him to wait until the summer before moving on.
      He told The Italian Football Podcast: “Obviously, the coach sees something that makes him not trust him 100 per cent.
      I don’t think he should leave Juve now, but if this goes on all season then I think he should.Sven Goran-Eriksson
      “But with the talent Kulusevski has, he can do things on his own. So, it is very strange that he doesn’t start every game.
      “I don’t think he should leave Juve now, but if this goes on all season, and that he’s sitting on the bench, then I think he should leave.
      “Also, at his age, with his talent, also for the Swedish national team, he needs to play regularly, he has to play a lot. If not he won’t become the great player we hope he will become.”

      Man Utd line up Tottenham’s record signing Ndombele as shock Pogba transfer replacement if midfielder leaves

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are interested in signing Tottenham midfielder Tanguy Ndombele, according to reports.It’s believed the Red Devils will try to sign the France international, 24, if Paul Pogba leaves Old Trafford next summer.

      According to Italian outlet CalcioMercato, Man Utd want to ‘protect’ themselves from losing Pogba, 28, at the end of the season.
      Pogba’s current deal expires in June and it’s unclear at this stage whether he will put pen to paper on a contract extension.
      And rumours suggest the Premier League side have identified Ndombele as a potential replacement for the World Cup winner.
      The Spurs ace made his first Prem appearance of the season against Chelsea on Sunday and his commitment has come into question.
      Ndombele reportedly wants to leave North London but Spurs chief Daniel Levy has slapped a £55million price tag on him.
      Tottenham signed the player from Lyon for an initial £55m in July 2019, with that figure rising to a club record £65m.

      Ndombele, a seven-cap international, has failed to flourish in England since the move, featuring in 55 Prem fixtures to date.
      Man Utd are also believed to be interested in AC Milan star Franck Kessie, 24, as a replacement for Pogba.
      The Ivory Coast international has been a key part of Milan’s midfield since his move from Atalanta in June 2017, playing 145 Serie A games.
      According to Transfermarkt, Kessie is valued at £49.5m – meaning he could be a slightly cheaper option than Ndombele.
      Both rumours depend on Pogba’s situation and the player’s agent Mino Raiola has hinted he could stay at Man Utd or sign for Juventus.
      He said: “Paul Pogba is out of contract in June, so we’ll talk with Man Utd and we’ll see what happens. Juventus? Paul still loves Turin.”

      Reports suggested the Blues were also linked with the England captain but Tuchel insists that wasn’t the case and Romelu Lukaku was always his top target.
      Speaking about Kane’s proposed move to Man City, the German manager admitted: “I thought that this would happen.”
      “We never had a list with his name on it and I never went to Marina Granovskaia to tell her to buy him.
      “But the club sorted out the situation. There are many people around players, their agents and advisors and people in between and we had some information from these people.
      “But it was never that close that we had to experience the rivalry [between Tottenham and Chelsea].
      “We know about the rivalry but I had a feeling that it was never that far.”

      Tuchel, though, insists that he wouldn’t have feared City any more with Kane in their squad during the Premier League title chase.
      But the former Borussia Dortmund boss admits he was pleased with the 28-year-old proving to be a one-club man.
      Tuchel added: “No, I was not scared, but if it would have happened, I would have been very interested in how maybe it would have changed Manchester City’s style of playing.
      “We are not afraid of anyone. We accept any team and Manchester City, Man United and Liverpool, they are the teams strong like no other in this league and they have strong squads.
      “These are the guys with whom we want to compete and it’s normal that they fight for the best players and I thought this is maybe going to happen.

      “On one side I was happy that he stayed because it is also nice that it exists in football that players play for one club only.
      “Harry Kane is Tottenham and even for me – I have absolutely nothing to do with Tottenham, I have never worked for them – when I think about Tottenham in the last decade you think about Harry Kane and this is very nice.
      “Like you think about [Lionel] Messi and straight away you think about Barcelona and it is very hard to think that he plays for another club now, and that’s the same for Harry Kane.
      “So, from this side, I was happy because I like it and a part of my personality is still a fan and I like that things like this happen.
      “It is also nice that Romelu Lukaku is back at Chelsea and some things are a good fit and should not be changed.”

      Harry Winks’ summer transfer exit fell through after ‘Tottenham’s £40m price tag put off Aston Villa and Everton’

      by

      TOTTENHAM’S reluctance to sell Harry Winks for less than £40million reportedly saw summer moves to Aston Villa and Everton fall through.The Times claims Nuno Espirito Santo was happy to let the England midfielder leave after taking charge in north London.

      It’s reckoned Winks, 26, had proposals from both Villa and Everton during the transfer window.
      However, Tottenham supremo Daniel Levy slapped a £40m price-tag on the academy-grown playmaker.
      And that kept Villa and Everton from following up their interest with concrete bids.
      Winks’ future first came under the spotlight during Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham reign.
      The 10-time England international made just 15 Premier League appearances last term.
      But despite being open to offers during the transfer window, Nuno looks to have been won around.

      Winks has already played in two of Tottenham’s first four league matches this term.
      And he started on Saturday as Spurs lost 3-0 at Crystal Palace.
      However, Winks was dominated in midfield by Eagles loanee Connor Gallagher.
      And he may find himself out of the starting XI when Tottenham host Chelsea on Sunday.
      But there could be another opportunity before that when Spurs take on Rennes in the Europa Conference League on Thursday.

      Having also played for Rubin Kazan and Rostov, Azmoun has netted 50 times in just 70 league games for Zenit.
      Spurs were reportedly keen on signing the Iran international as a potential replacement for Harry Kane, who was tipped to join Manchester City.
      And although a move failed to occur, Azmoun has now confirmed Tottenham did make an official approach alongside several other elite European sides.
      However, Zenit turned down all bids for their key man.
      But Azmoun has now threatened to leave on a free transfer when his contract expires next year, offering Spurs fresh hope of a bargain deal.
      Azmoun declared: “I have a contract. Even if I wanted to leave Zenit, they can stop me and there is nothing I can do.

      “I had offers from Tottenham, Lyon, Bayer Leverkusen and Roma, and Zenit refused them.
      “If I leave, I will do it next summer as a free agent.”
      Azmoun is currently in his fourth season with Zenit, having fired them to three successive titles.
      He already has five goals in just six outings this term.

      And Azmoun also has four goals in as many games for Iran this year, giving him a grand total of 37 international strikes in just 55 appearances.
      Despite keeping Kane, Spurs failed to land a replacement for back-up Carlos Vinicus when his loan from Benfica expired.
      And Daniel Levy could return in January to sign Azmoun on a pre-contract agreement for next summer.
