Kyle Walker is the latest name to feature on Barcelona’s right-back wish list.
According to a report in The Sun the form of the Tottenham defender is now being monitored at the Nou Camp as they search for a replacement for Dani Alves.
Barcelona won’t cut any corners as they assess the best players in the world to fill in a crucial position in the team.
While full-backs have less responsibility at other clubs, Barcelona rely on quality full-back’s confident on the ball as the first stage of their attacking moves.
Walker and Arsenal’s Hector Bellerin have both been identified for that role.
Both players signed long term contracts this season but a bid from Barcelona would pose problems for either club with the players likely to demand new deals if their Barca move is turned down.
Walker has started 24 of Tottenham’s 25 Premier League matches this season and is also England’s first choice right-back.
