Barcelona wonderkid Ansu Fati lined up for Premier League transfer with two giants in the running
BARCELONA wonderkid Ansu Fati is being lined up for a move to the Premier League, reports suggest.
The 20-year-old has fallen down the pecking order at the Camp Nou and has not started any of the Blaugrana’s three La Liga games this season.
Fati has been linked with a transfer on a number of occasions throughout the window.
However, the hectic nature of the final week of the transfer window could see a deal accelerate.
Tottenham and Chelsea have made their interest in the player known, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.
Spurs have made contact with Barcelona to discuss the possibility of a season-long loan transfer.
Chelsea also presented an informal offer to Fati earlier this week.
A report from Mundo Deportivo adds Fati is willing to listen to offers.
Fati has appeared 112 times for Barca since making his debut in 2019, scoring 29 goals and helping the club win La Liga, Copa del Rey and the Spanish Supercup.
Both teams remain in the market for a new attacker.

The north Londoners remain locked in negotiations with Nottingham Forest for Brennan Johnson, but he is rated at £50million.
Meanwhile, the Blues remain in the search of a new attacker.
Mauricio Pochettino hinted there could be another incoming deal before the deadline, following sensational links to Arsenal star Emile Smith Rowe.
Ahead of their Carabao Cup clash against AFC Wimbledon, he said: “I know the club is working hard to finish our business.
“Can something happen? Maybe yes. At the moment I am only working and letting the club deliver what we want.”
Spurs were dumped out of the cup last night by Fulham.
