Barcelona Transfer News: Tottenham Reportedly Close on Riqui Puig Amid Rumours

Barcelona could be on the verge of losing one of their academy's biggest talents as Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly closing in on a move for midfield starlet Ricard "Riqui" Puig.

MailOnline's Simon Jones reported Puig has hit an impasse with Barca over a new contract and is said to be "keen" to link up with Espanyol defender and manager turned Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino.

Puig, 18, is currently in Barcelona's Juvenil A set-up (under-19s) but has trained with the first team and made his Barcelona B debut in February, an indication of the hopes his club has for him in future.
