Tottenham open exploratory talks over Premier League centre-back, but Barcelona really want him

Tottenham Hotspur have reached out to a Premier League centre-back’s agent regarding a summer transfer, but the Lilywhites are in danger of falling behind in the transfer race.

With Spurs having yet another disastrous season domestically, the club may struggle to hold onto their best players in the summer.

Some reports have claimed there is panic at Tottenham about losing both Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven in the summer, which may be why the Lilywhites have set their sights on another Premier League defender.
