We covered a report today on Moriba where it was claimed that agreeing personal terms with the player would not be a problem.
The Catalan giants want a fee in the region of £17m (€20m) for the 18-year-old central midfielder.
The north London club sold Moussa Sissoko this summer to Watford already, while the futures of Harry Winks and Tanguy Ndombele are also in doubt.
Spurs are also aiming to sign a striker and the club reportedly will try to bring in a forward before Tuesday’s deadline. However, Tottenham’s attempt to sign Adama Traore is still up in the air.
