Latest Tottenham transfer rumours: Todd Cantwell linked, Borna Barasic's Spurs admission

Tottenham saw more Premier League points escape their grasp on Saturday after drawing 1-1 with Burnley and now look ahead to a crucial Champions League challenge.

Jose Mourinho's side travel to Germany for Tuesday's clash against RB Leipzig, where they currently trail 1-0 following a first leg defeat in North London two weeks ago.

While the challenges on the field mount up, Spurs' injury problems also highlight the work that needs to be done by Mourinho in the summer transfer market.

As such, plenty of rumours continue to float around North London and we have gathered some of the latest snippets below.

Todd Cantwell linked

Tottenham have made Norwich City midfielder Todd Cantwell one of their prime targets for the summer transfer window following his impressive performances this season, Football Insider reports.

The 21-year-old has made a big impression with the Canaries since their promotion from the Championship last season and has turned heads with his displays.

Liverpool and Manchester United are also said to be keeping tabs on the England U21 international and Spurs have been heavily scouting him throughout the campaign.

Tottenham could be able to offer Cantwell more first-team assurances than Liverpool but United could be a threat due to their recent focus on signing young talents and bleeding them into the side.

Borna Barasic's Spurs admission

Tottenham could have a significant advantage in the hunt for the signature of Rangers defender Borna Barasic following an admission previously made by the Croatian.

The 27-year-old has bounced back from a poor first season at Ibrox to become an integral part of Steven Gerrard's side north of the border, which has reportedly alerted Spurs.

Should they make a move, Barasic could be willing as he previously stated he used to watch teammate Jermain Defoe at Spurs, as reported by the Daily Record.

“I used to watch him play for Spurs because Luka Modric and Vedran Corluka were also there at that time."

Inter target Vertonghen

Inter Milan are looking to raid Tottenham for the second transfer window in a row this summer by launching a swoop for Jan Vertonghen, according to Tuttosport via SempreInter.

The Belgium international sees his current deal with the North London outfit expire at the end of the season and he could leave on a free transfer as a result.

Inter, who have a recent history of snatching players from the Premier League and took Christian Eriksen off Spurs in January, are said to be monitoring the situation.

In fact, they could agree a deal immediately as Vertonghen has been free to discuss a pre-contract agreement with clubs outside of the Premier League since the turn of the year.
