Barcelona are chasing Tottenham midfield schemer Christian Eriksen.
The Sunday Mirror says the Catalan giants are circling White Hart Lane for the Denmark international as they seek a playmaker capable of supplying one of the deadliest strike-forces in world football.
Eriksen has been scouted consistently since the turn of the year and it is understood that Barca could use ex-star Michael Laudrup as a go-between to convince him that a move to La Liga would be in his interests.
The move has been mooted for some months but now that Barcelona have been dumped out of the Champions League in embarrassing fashion by Juventus, their recruitment drive has come under fire.
However, the midfielder only signed a new deal last September that ties him to the club until 2020.
