Tottenham transfer news: Antonin Barak decision looms as £17m man attracts big Serie A suitor
Napoli have joined Tottenham in the transfer hunt for Hellas Verona midfielder Antonin Barak this summer, according to a report.
Spurs are facing a pivotal end to the season, with their Champions League fate sure to affect their deal hopes. Antonio Conte’s side sit fifth in the Premier League, four points behind Woolwich.
Manager Conte reportedly wants as many as six new signings to bolster his team ahead of next season.
And his midfield has subsequently become a key area of attention. Tottenham signed Rodrigo Bentancur from Juventus in January and he has proved a solid addition so far.
According to Corriere della Sera, Spurs are still in the hunt for Verona’s attacking midfielder Barak.
However, several Premier League teams are eyeing a raid on the Serie A club. What’s more, Bundesliga sides – which the report does not name – are also keen.
But Czech Republic international Barak could yet stay in Italy, with Napoli furthermore becoming a potential transfer suitor for him.
There is doubt as to whether Spanish star Fabian Ruiz will stay in Naples, hence the interest in Barak.
Aren´t the editor ashamed to put out such drivel?He must be hearing "voices" then

I Keep Hearing It - Richard Keys Makes Big Chelsea And Tottenham Transfer Claim
Richard Keys has floated the possibility of a Chelsea's Romelu Lukaku moving to Tottenham Hotspur as part of a player exchange deal with Harry Kane.insidefutbol.com
Richard Keys has claimed that he keeps hearing that a sensational deal to take Romelu Lukaku to Tottenham Hotspur and Harry Kane to Chelsea to help build an English spine at the Blues could be in the works.
Former Sky Sports anchor Keys has claimed that he keeps hearing about a possible player-exchange deal between Chelsea and Spurs in which Lukaku moves to Tottenham and Kane to Stamford Bridge.
Keys explained that if Antonio Conte remains in his current post and fancies working again with Lukaku, his former charge at a Serie A winning Inter side, Spurs could look to snap him up from Chelsea, while offering Kane in exchange, which would also help the Blues to recompose their squad in the way they want to.
Even without Haaland at Man City it would take a while before Spurs could compete with them. They still need a new LCB, LB and CMF though....which I am sure they will get.
Really that easy huh...I bet you are wrong. No one knows what will happen. I recall all the hand wringing when Sancho hit the EPL unplayable at Dortmund too...Well we will see.
That's like, over 100 million pounds spent on centre backs in a single window.
New top LCB, Dier, Romero is a very good back 3. We have other priorities and limited funds.
haaland is a great player but injuries have plagued him
will be interesting to see if he can produce the 25 plus goals in prem every season
Let’s at least get the NLD out of the way before the silly season kicks in.
his form has taken a dip might not be that unrealisticThe goalkeeper spot right now is not a priority as Lloris has extended his contract until 2023 but then he'll turn 37. Yes, he may have 1 or 2 years still left in him as a top goalie... but Spurs should start looking for a replacement now...

Yes it's easy for them because of the squad they have. He will be playing for Pep not Solskjaer or Rangnick.Really that easy huh...I bet you are wrong. No one knows what will happen. I recall all the hand wringing when Sancho hit the EPL unplayable at Dortmund too...Well we will see.
