Tottenham contacted about Barcelona star – this would be a major statement

Antoine Griezmann has emerged as the latest player to be linked with a move to Tottenham this summer.

Fabio Paratici has had a busy summer transfer window since he started his role as the director of football at the club.

The former Juventus executive has helped Spurs become linked with a few high-profile targets in this window.

Griezmann is their latest reported target as Barcelona looks to offload the 2018 World Cup winner.

L’Equipe via Sport Witness claims Barca is keen to sell him and they have now shopped him around to clubs in Europe and one of them is Tottenham.

The Lilywhites will have to battle the likes of Juventus and Atletico Madrid before they can sign him.

He was close to a return to his former club recently when a swap deal that involved Saul Niguez was discussed.

However, that hasn’t come off and the report says they are back to square one now and looking for a new home for him.

Tottenham wants to return to the top four and adding a quality attacker like the Frenchman to their squad will help their bid to achieve that.

However, his salary might be bigger than that of Spurs’ highest earner and that could pose an issue for them.
