Report: Tottenham Hotspur in for Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly the latest club to register their interest in Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic.

The Croatia international has been linked with a move away from Camp Nou after slipping down the pecking order this season.

Quique Setien revealed last week that Rakitic has not yet asked to leave, but a number of heavyweight teams are believed to be weighing up offers.

According to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, Tottenham are now in the running to sign the 32-year-old as Jose Mourinho looks to bolster his midfield options.

However, the Lilywhites are expected to face competition from Atletico Madrid, Juventus and Sevilla for Rakitic, as well as domestic rivals Manchester United.
