Page 5 - Premier League transfer news: Lionel Messi stopped Barcelona from signing world-class Premier League star due to price, Eriksen could leave Tottenham and more

#1 Tottenham torment

Lionel Messi advised Barcelona to not sign the Colombian due to his price

This is perhaps the first time in this roundup’s history that Tottenham got the last and ultimate slide of the day. The reason being, the stories surrounding the Lilywhites were just about explosive enough to find a place here.

According to Don Balon, Barcelona were interested in signing Davinson Sanchez from the London outfit. However, Lionel Messi objected to the €60 million price tag as the Colombian is quite prone to injuries. That is perhaps a tad harsh for a player of Sanchez's calibre.

Meanwhile, Football.London report that Mousa Dembele has flown to China to complete his exit from Tottenham. The midfielder had been touted for a move for a while now and it seems as though the deal would cost around £11 million.
