Tottenham Hotspur target signing of Barcelona defender Nelson Semedo?

Barcelona defender Nelson Semedo has reportedly emerged as a January transfer target for Tottenham Hotspur.

Despite having made 102 appearances during his two-and-a-half years at Camp Nou, Semedo has been made available by manager Ernesto Valverde.

The Portugal international will not be short of interest, leaving any clubs keen on a deal to hold negotiations with Barcelona.

According to The Mirror, Spurs have identified the 26-year-old as a potential addition as they look to strengthen at right-back.

Kyle Walker-Peters is expected to leave on loan in the coming weeks, putting Jose Mourinho in a position where he needs to find competition for Serge Aurier.

With Semedo having a contract until 2022, Barcelona may be against parting ways with the player for a cut-price fee.
