# Tottenham Hotspur in pole position to sign Barcelona forward in January

[![pochettinoo](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/pochettinoo-500x314.jpg)](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/pochettinoo.jpg?admin)Tottenham Hotspur supporting punters here in the Transfer Tavern are deliberating the news they have just read in the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3272033/Tottenham-lead-chase-Barcelona-outcast-Sandro-La-Liga-club-slap-7-5million-asking-price-forward.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490), with the publication suggesting that Mauricio Pochettino’s side are in pole position to sign Barcelona forward Sandro.

The 20-year-old forward has found it hard to break into the first-team at the La Liga giants, and it’s not surprising, given the player has to compete with the likes of Neymar, Suarez and Messi for a starting berth!

The publication cites reports from Spanish publication Sport, with Barcelona putting a £7.5 million price-tag on his head – and it seems that Pochettino is an admirer of the young forward, who could provide competition for Harry Kane.

Our resident Spurs fans enjoying a pint of the Transfer Tavern’s finest ale feel that Sando could be a shrewd purchase, and admit that he must be half decent if he’s involved in the setup at Barcelona!

**Tottenham fans….. What do you make of this news? Would you like to see this 20-year-old at White Hart Lane? Could he be the man to bring goals to the Spurs team? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below!**
