Barcelona scouting Spurs star – and it isn’t who you think

When you see the headline Barcelona scouting Spurs star, your mind may jump to the likes of Harry Kane, Christian Eriksen or Toby Alderweireld.

However, according to a report from TEAMtalk, the Spanish giants have their eye on a rather different Tottenham player.

Eric Dier has had a rather up and down start to the season, putting in some pretty dismal shifts in the early stages of the campaign.

However, his form has picked up in recent weeks, in addition to some great games for England during the international break.

The report suggest that Barca will monitor Dier over the coming months as a potential Sergio Busquets replacement.

They believe his versatility may be valuable for their squad, and will likely look at the player when Spurs travel to the Nou Camp in the Champions League.

Dier is only on £60k a week at Tottenham, and would likely earn a huge amount more that that if he moved to Spain.
