Tottenham are looking at signing Barcelona starlet Carles Alena.

According to The Sun, Spurs' interest in the highly-rated prospect has come to ahead due to his release clause.

The north London club could secure the 19-year old for just £2.6m this week.

But if they don't sign the Spaniard by this week, they will have to pay £10.5m as his release clause increases at the start of July.

Alena has one-year remaining on his contract and is reportedly looking for more first-team opportunities.
