Tottenham have been linked to Barcelona midfielder Andre Gomes.
Few players in Europe are disliked by their own fans as much as Andre Gomes is at Barcelona.
The Portugal international flopped in his first season at the Nou Camps and supporters have since been desperate for him to leave.
Gomes was selected as a surprise starter for Barcelona against Atletico Madrid at the weekend, and actually managed to win over a few fans in the process.

After the 1-1 draw away to Atletico, Andre Gomes managed to actually earn some praise from supporters.
One even labelled his performance as ‘exceptional’, with others hoping it can provide a spark for him to kick on at the club.
Gomes playing well gives him a new lease of life, although it could actually speed up his exit.
If Tottenham are to commit £20 million to sign him, considering they already have an array of talented midfielders, they will need to see a few positive signs.
There was reason to be encouraged with his display against Atletico.
He completed 88 per cent of his passes, creating one goalscoring chance, while making five tackles – more than any other Barcelona player.
