Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with making a fresh move for Andre Gomes.

The Express report Mauricio Pochettino is a big fan and wants to secure a move for the midfielder this month.

Gomes has struggled at Barcelona since signing in 2016 and has been heavily criticised by supporters.

Andre Gomes of FC Barcelona conducts the ball during the La Liga match between FC Barcelona and Real Sociedad de Futbol at Camp Nou stadium on April 15, 2017 in Barcelona, Spain.

He would be a controversial signing for Tottenham with this in mind, but supporters are hopeful that he could regain his Valencia form which led to Barcelona splashing out on him in the first place.

Tottenham fans have after all put up with Moussa Sissoko for the past 18 months, although judging any move by his lack of success is dangerous.

Gomes has started just two La Liga games this season and while he would be cup-tied for the Champions League, he could still be a useful addition.

It is clear he needs to move on from the Nou Camp, and Tottenham’s interest could tempt him.
