Mauricio Pochettino Keen on Signing Colombia World Cup Star After Impressive Performances in Russia

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pocchettino is reportedly keen on signing Colombian centre back Yerry Mina this summer, according to the Sun.

The 23-year-old goalscoring central defender was a key figure for his national team at the World Cup, finding the net on three occasions - including a last-minute equaliser against England.

Mina joined Barcelona in January 2018 for €11.8m from Brazilian side Palmeiras, but only featured five times in La Liga.

He's seen as a huge prospect for the future by the Catalan club, but they are understood to be willing to let him go out on loan next season to gain experience.
