Barcelona Transfer News: Spurs Near Sandro Ramirez Deal; Sergi Samper Rumours

Barcelona youngsters Sandro Ramirez and Sergi Samper could be set to leave the club as Premier League giants Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal, respectively, close in on the upcoming La Liga duo.

According to Spanish newspaper Sport, Spurs are in the "final push" to sign Sandro after offering the attacker a four-and-a-half-year deal at White Hart Lane and are merely waiting for him to give the green light.

Mauricio Pochettino's side are also being very particular about the type of deal they're offering as Sport made sure to highlight the fact Spurs are insisting there be no buyback clause present in the contract.

Speculation was sent into overdrive after Esther Blasco of Sport confirmed Sandro had been left out of Wednesday's squad for the fixture against Real Betis.

Barca have gained a reputation for allowing young talents to move away from the club before cherry-picking the best and bringing them back to the Camp Nou, but Tottenham are looking to tie Sandro down for the long run.

Harry Kane is currently leading the club's line with aplomb after scoring 11 goals in 19 games this season, but Pochettino is seeking attacking reinforcements for his first-choice front man.

Tottenham also need to beef up their attacking line after summer signing Clinton Njie was ruled out for "two to three months," according to BBC Sport reporter Oluwashina Okeleji:

Sandro has started in eight of his 18 appearances for the Blaugrana this season, but first-team chances have proved difficult to come by for the striker-cum-winger.

Elsewhere in north London, Arsenal are willing to pay €6 million (£4.4 million) for the signature of Samper, but the central midfielder's release clause is worth twice that amount, according to Sport.

Unlike Sandro, Samper is yet to make his La Liga debut for the Catalan giants, despite the fact it's been more than 12 months since he made his first-team bow.

Rafael Hernandez has expressed some doubt the 20-year-old midfielder will ever be offered his chance under manager Luis Enrique:

Selling either or both of the players to their Premier League suitors would help Barcelona soothe their debt concerns without weakening the senior squad too drastically.

Barcelona's loss could stand to be Tottenham and Arsenal's gain this winter, with La Liga outfit in line to net €20 million from the prospective deals should negotiations go in their favour.
