Report: Tottenham Hotspur enter race to sign Cristian Tello

Tottenham Hotspur have joined the race to sign winger Cristian Tello from Barcelona, according to a report.

The 24-year-old is said to be pushing for a move out of Camp Nou this summer following successive seasons out on loan at Porto and Fiorentina.

It is Serie A side Fiorentina who are rumoured to be the frontrunners to land Tello following his previous stint at the club, while Premier League trio Liverpool, Swansea City and Southampton have also been strongly linked with making a bid.

Having kept a close eye on the Spain international since his days in the Espanyol youth ranks, it is claimed by The Mirror that Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino is now weighing up an offer.

Tello has scored 11 times in 59 league outings for Barcelona since being re-signed from Espanyol in 2011.
