According to a recent report from Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Barcelona midfielder Carles Alena in the January transfer window.
The 21-year-old has come through the fabled La Masia’s academy. He is highly-rated by Barcelona and is often touted as the heir to legendary midfielders like Xavi and Iniesta.
However, in recent years, Barcelona has not quite relied heavily on their academy products, and as a result, Alena hasn’t been getting the chance to shine.
Very good signing for Spurs
The youngster is a technically gifted midfielder.
