Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with yet another exciting young full-back.
The 22-year-old is said to be attracting interest from Spurs, Roma and AS Monaco, but given his contract situation at his current club he is unlikely to come cheap.
Barreca is tied to Torino until the summer of 2021 and could well be seen as an alternative to Jeremy Toljan, who has been heavily linked with Tottenham in recent hours.
German newspaper Bild has suggested Spurs could get the Hoffenheim defender for just £3million, and the timing of the Barreca news could be more than just coincidence as the North London club attempt to finally get a deal over the line this summer.
Barreca featured 30 times for Torino last season, providing two assists in the process, and while he lost his place at the end of the campaign he was back in the starting XI for the final match against Sassuolo.
While predominantly a left-back, the alleged Tottenham target can also play on the opposite side of defence or as a left winger if required.
There is no doubt Spurs need more strength in depth as they attempt to build on last season, challenging both domestically and in the Champions League, yet of the two Toljan seems the more likely option than Barreca at this stage of the transfer window.
