Tottenham are ready to intensify their plans for Everton midfielder Andre Gomes.

On a straight loan from Barcelona, Gomes has shone for Everton this season.

Everton boss Marco Silva is eager to convert the deal into a permanent transfer, but face stiff competition from Spurs.

Indeed, Catalan sources say Spurs are now stepping up their interest as they prepare to lose Christian Eriksen to potentially Real Madrid.

Barca are seeking £25-30m for Portugal international Gomes.
