Spurs target Barcelona forward as Harry Kane’s back-up

Tottenham are reportedly considering a move for FC Barcelona forward Sandro Ramirez.

The Premier League side, who currently sit eighth in the table ahead of Saturday’s clash against Liverpool, are interested in bringing in the young striker to White Hart Lane as back-up for England international Harry Kane.

The 20-year-old, who was promoted to Barca’s first-team this campaign, has failed to score in eight appearances in all competitions so far this season for Luis Enrique’s side.

Ramirez has seemingly fallen behind fellow forward Munir El-Haddadi as first-choice back-up option for the La Liga giants’ formidable attacking line-up of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar this term.

It is thought that Barcelona would be interested in allowing the Spain Under-21 international a move away from the Nou Camp in the New Year, but only if the transfer includes a buy-back clause.
