Somehow The Sun were reliable with our transfers last summer so we'll see what happens with this...

Tottenham want Wilmar Barrios from Boca Juniors as Mauricio Pochettino prepares to make £25million summer bid

Boss is ready to freshen up his squad ahead of Tottenham's move to Wembley and believes Barrios would be a great addition

SPURS boss Mauricio Pochettino has put Colombian midfield enforcer Wilmar Barrios on his summer hit-list.

Poch wants a new defensive shield for his back four and plans to watch Boca Juniors star Barrios at the World Cup finals.

He has already been looking at Barrios, who plays in his native Argentina, and checked on him ahead of a potential £25million swoop.

Barrios, 24, has broken into the Colombia side and gone under the radar of most European clubs, joining Boca instead when he left his country two seasons ago.

The tough competitor can also play and would fit into Pochettino’s plans.

He would also help Davinson Sanchez, the 21-year-old Colombian centre-half Poch has put so much faith in.

£25m? Someone having a laugh?

I was thinking the same, hes had 4 starts for Columbia and even in his highlight videos his passing isnt consistent

Heres a few clips of the defensive side of his game, looks like a menace

A transfer window wouldn’t be the same without some random South American being linked with us because we have an Argentinian manager.

This only makes sense if Wanyama’s fitness is in question, I’d think.. looks a good player tho.

Probably made up bollocks but I like the look of this player. Reminds me of Kante. The sort of player you could get to follow Salah or Hazard around the pitch and spoil their day out.

Tim Vickery was just speaking about him on the radio. He's a big fan. He described him as an excellent holding midfielder in the Mascherano mold, perhaps not as safe in possession (although still good in this regard) but quicker across the ground.
