Everton and Tottenham battling to sign Barcelona midfielder

Everton and Tottenham are reportedly preparing respective swoops for Barcelona midfielder Rafinha.

The Brazilian spent the second-half of last season at Serie A giants Inter Milan after securing a temporary switch to San Siro during the January transfer window.

Inter are understood to have expressed an interest in signing Rafinha again in a low-cost deal, or at least on another loan. However, according to reports in Italy, this will not be the case.

Instead, a move to the Premier League could beckon for Rafinha, who is reportedly a target for both Everton and Spurs.

The midfielder’s future in Spain with Barcelona appears to be highly unlikely, with Ernesto Valverde currently having a wealth of midfield options at his disposal ahead of next season.

Everton are yet to complete a signing this summer but with Marcel Brands and Marco Silva both in place, an interesting transfer window is in store as the Toffees look to avoid a repeat of last season.
