Tottenham Hotspur and Juventus are reportedly keen on signing the Barcelona ace.

Andre Gomes of FC Barcelona plays the ball during the La Liga match between Barcelona and Levante at Camp Nou on January 7, 2018 in Barcelona, Spain.

According to a report from Spanish media outlet Mundo Deportivo, Juventus are lining up a move for Barcelona ace Andre Gomes, and Tottenham will have to act fast if they want to bring the Portuguese ace to north London this summer.

The 24-year-old joined Barca from Valencia in the summer of 2016, for a fee that could eventually rise to £46 million, according to BBC Sport, but he has failed to establish himself at the Camp Nou.

That is not to say that he hasn’t got a lot to offer at the very highest level, however, and a move away from Barca could be just what he needs in order to reinvigorate his career.

The Express reported earlier this year that Mauricio Pochettino wants to bring Gomes to Tottenham, and the Argentine could be forced into making a move, what with Juve’s reported interest in the Barcelona midfielder.

Mundo Deportivo claim that Juve want the Portugal international as part of a deal that would see Miralem Pjanić move to the Camp Nou.

Spurs’ need for another midfielder will depend on whether Mousa Dembele leaves the club this summer, and if the 30-year-old does up sticks, Gomes would be the ideal replacement.

The lure of the Premier League could be enough to convince the Barca man to join Tottenham rather than Juventus, but either way, Pochettino must act fast, if he truly wants to sign the 24-year-old.
