Spurs transfer news: Inter 'close in' on Christian Eriksen, Barcelona join Ricardo Pereira race

Tottenham Hotspur could drip into the January transfer market after being left frustrated once again after drawing 1-1 with Middlesbrough in the FA Cup.

Lucas Moura prevented it being an embarrassing cup exit for Jose Mourinho's side, who named a near full-strength side against Championship opposition.

With news that Harry Kane is out with a torn hamstring, a versatile forward could become Spurs' new priority in the January transfer window.

With issue at centre-back and left-back too, Mourinho will be hoping to see some fresh faces come through the door.

Here is a round-up of the day's latest Tottenham transfers news.

Middlesbrough 1-1 Tottenham: Jose Mourinho press conference

Inter chase Eriksen deal

Inter Milan have stepped up their pursuit of Christian Eriksen, according to a report in Sunday's print edition of Corriere della Sera.

The report claims that the Italian giants will shell out £20m in transfer fee and wages to sign Eriksen in the January transfer window.

Eriksen, of course, can sign a pre-contract agreement with any European suitor and leave for free.

However, if Tottenham want to recoup a fee for Danish playmaker, they will have to sell him this month.

Jose Mourinho wants Spurs to complete the signing of Giovani Lo Celso on a permanent deal.

The Argentine midfielder joined the club from Real Betis on a season-long loan in the summer.

Tottenham have the option to make the move permanent for £34m, according to  Marca .

The midfield playmaker has started just two Premier League games this season, making a further nine appearances as a substitute.

Barcelona join Pereira chase

Barcelona have joined the race to sign Leicester City right-back Ricardo Pereira.

Manchester United and Tottenham had already been linked with the Portuguese full-back, as well as the Catalan giants.

According to  The Sun , Barcelona have sent scouts to watch the 26-year-old and could follow up their interest this month.
