Tottenham are very close to Barcelona Signing

Tottenham are very close to a Barcelona signing. Riqui Puig is a star of the renown Masia, the youth Academy of FC Barcelona and has not yet accepted the renewal offer made to him.

Mauricio Pochettino is a huge fan and Spurs have been in contact with his advisers over  move to Spurs. He has multiple offers, including one to play for Barcelona B, but a report in Spain suggests he is tempted by the Tottenham project.

After playing a spectacular Youth League season and debuting with Barça B,18-year-old (19 in August) central midfielder Riqui Puig has captured the attention of the best teams in Europe. Of all of them, the one that has had more advanced talks is Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur.

Manager Pochettino, who is said to be 'in love' with the Matadapera boy's game, and Spurs have tried to convince him to join what the Spanish media call a very attractive sports project. Contacts are at an advanced stage, although a final decision has not been made yet.

At Barça they are aware that Riqui has many offers and that he has many doubts about signing his renewal with the Spanish champions. For this reason, his presence in Barça B has been reduced and he only plays with the Juvenile A Copa del Rey. The same goes for most of his colleagues who have not renewed contracts either.

His future will be decided in the next few days. The offers are already on the table and he just needs to make a final decision.

Sport ES suggest Riqui Puig could well be playing in the Premier League next season wearing the Tottenham shirt.
