Tottenham & West Ham want Barcelona star in January | OneFootball

A pair of Premier League clubs have joined the hunt for an out-of-favour member of the attacking ranks at La Liga giants Barcelona.

That’s according to Diario Sport, who point towards Ansu Fati as the player in question.

Wide-man Ansu has of course seen his name return to the forefront of the headlines once more over the course of the last week.

Unfortunately for the 22-year-old, though, as much comes for altogether less than positive reasons.

Despite having now recovered full fitness, Ansu was not even called up by Barcelona boss Hansi Flick for either of the club’s fixtures at the Spanish Super Cup.

16-year-old Toni Fernández was even preferred to the attacker for last week’s semi-final meeting with Athletic Club.

Such woes have given rise to mounting speculation that Ansu is likely to be pushed out by Barca before the close of the January transfer window.

And, if the latest word stemming from the media on Thursday is anything to go by, then two new suitors have emerged in the race for the Spaniard.

As per a report from Diario Sport, London rivals Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United are both considering imminent approaches for Ansu.

Elsewhere, in Turkey, Besiktas are keen, whilst a number of La Liga clubs are keeping a close eye on the situation, too.
