Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly set to rival Chelsea and RB Leipzig for the signing of Barcelona youngster Ilaix Moriba.
The 18-year-old has entered the final year of his contract at Camp Nou and is currently being left out of the first team until his future is resolved.
According to the Daily Mail, Spurs are the latest club to have held talks with the player's representatives, though they face strong competition from both Chelsea and Leipzig, who are confident in concluding a deal.
The Blues are believed to be in pole position to sign Moriba, who would be keen on a move to the Premier League this summer.
Barcelona are resigned to the fact that Moriba is unlikely to sign a new deal and have therefore placed a £13m price tag on the midfielder.
Moriba – who has chosen to represent Guinea at international level – made just 14 La Liga appearances for Ronald Koeman's side last season, scoring once and providing three assists.
