Tottenham are in talks to sign Ilaix Moriba from Barcelona.

One source in Spain has indicated that an agreement is close and personal terms with the player would not be a problem.

Barcelona want a fee in the region of £17m (€20m) for the 18-year-old central midfielder.

However, Moriba also has interest from RB Leipzig, whom Sky Sports News reported a few days ago have been in talks to sign him.

Joan Laporta recently confirmed Moriba is for sale after turning down the offer of a new contract at the Nou Camp.

Spurs sold midfielder Moussa Sissoko to Watford on Friday and are also prepared to sell Tanguy Ndombele if his valuation is met.
