Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keeping tabs on Stockport County’s Louie Barry as the January transfer window approaches.

The 21-year-old forward, who is a former Barcelona academy product, has impressed this season in League One, scoring 11 goals. With his contract set to expire next summer, Stockport might consider cashing in during January to avoid losing him for free.

Ange Postecoglou’s side are expected to remain active in the market, prioritising reinforcements in both defence and attack. While a striker isn’t their most pressing need, a versatile wide attacker could fit into their plans, aligning with interest in players like Villarreal’s Alex Baena and Boca Juniors’ Kevin Zenon. Barry’s profile as a young, promising attacker aligns with Spurs’ emphasis on nurturing talent for the long term.

Stockport reportedly value Barry at €15 million, but his contractual situation could lead to a reduced fee. Despite his youth, Barry’s career has seen stints at high-profile clubs like Barcelona and Aston Villa, though he has yet to make a senior impact at the top level. A move to Tottenham could provide him the stage to fulfil his potential and bolster Postecoglou’s attacking options.
