Ansu Fati falls down the pecking order
Barcelona wonderkid Ansu Fati, who is just 20 years old, has reportedly fallen down the pecking order at Camp Nou. He has not started any of the Blaugrana's three La Liga games this season, leading to speculation about a potential move.
Two Premier League clubs interested
Tottenham and Chelsea are both said to be interested in signing Ansu Fati and have made contact with Barcelona over a potential deal. While Spurs have discussed the possibility of a season-long loan transfer, Chelsea has presented an informal offer to Fati.
Deal could accelerate in final week of transfer window
With the transfer window entering its final week, the hectic nature of the deadline could see a deal for Ansu Fati accelerate. Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has confirmed the interest from both Tottenham and Chelsea, suggesting that negotiations could intensify.
Fati willing to listen to offers
According to a report from Mundo Deportivo, Ansu Fati is willing to listen to offers. This could indicate his desire for more playing time and a fresh start at a new club. Fati has made 112 appearances for Barcelona since his debut in 2019, contributing 29 goals and helping the club win multiple titles.
Tottenham and Chelsea in the market for a new attacker
Both Tottenham and Chelsea are actively searching for a new attacker. Tottenham is currently negotiating with Nottingham Forest for Brennan Johnson, while Chelsea is still in the market for additional firepower. Mauricio Pochettino, Tottenham's manager, hinted at the possibility of another incoming deal before the deadline.
Spurs suffered a disappointing exit from the Carabao Cup at the hands of Fulham, adding further urgency to their pursuit of new signings.
