Tottenham and Liverpool are thought to be interested in signing the Inter Milan midfielder Nicolo Barella.
The 23-year-old has caught the attention of European clubs with his performance for Inter this season.
Spurs and Liverpool could use some extra creativity in their midfield and Barella would be a superb long term investment for them.
The Italian is highly talented and he has a big future ahead of him. Working with world-class managers like Jose Mourinho and Jurgen Klopp could help him fulfil his potential and develop into a world-class footballer.
Inter are under no pressure to sell the midfielder and therefore the Premier League clubs will have to pay a sizable amount in order to tempt them into selling Barella.
It will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds in the coming days now.
Meanwhile, Leeds United has been linked with a move for the Chilean midfielder Erick Pulgar.
The midfielder was linked with Leeds United in the summer as well and it seems that the Premier League side are now looking to negotiate a loan move with Fiorentina until the end of the season.
It remains to be seen whether the Italian club are willing to let the Chilean leave on a short term deal without the guarantee of a permanent sale in the summer.
Leeds could use more depth in their midfield and Pulgar would be an impressive addition for them this month.
