Tottenham and RB Leipzig are in the hunt for £13million Barcelona starlet Ilaix Moriba after the 18-year-old stalled on signing a new contract... with the midfielder now frozen out of the first team AND the club's B side

Tottenham are set to hold further talks this weekend over a move for Barcelona starlet Ilaix Moriba.

Spurs and RB Leipzig have now emerged as frontrunners to sign the exciting 18-year-old midfielder who could leave the Nou Camp club before next Tuesday's transfer deadline.

Moriba's representatives had been in talks over a new deal, but negotiations stalled with the two parties failing to agree on the players' wage demands in June as Moriba was sidelined from the first-team picture and hasn't even been selected by Barcelona B since.
