Atletico Madrid will reportedly sell sensation Yannick Carrasco in January – and the Tottenham fans on Twitter have urged owner Daniel Levy to splash out for his signature.

Spanish outlet AS report that Atletico will sanction the exit of the 24-year-old in the January transfer window.

It is claimed that the La Liga side are willing to let him leave as he has fallen down the pecking order in Spain.

The report details that a number of unnamed Premier League teams are set to join the race for him, while German heavyweights Bayern Munich have previously been keen in him.

Carrasco has scored three goals and supplied four assists in 18 games so far this season, but has only completed 90 minutes in three of those games.

‘The Belgium international predominantly plays as a left-winger and is renowned for his trickery and eye for goal.

Spurs fans on social media have identified him as a player the club should pursue in the New Year and want him to become the latest Belgian in the squad.

Spurs already have a strong Belgian contingent in their squad through the likes of Mousa Dembele, Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen, but supporters are now keen to add another.

Carrasco has made 114 appearances during his spell with Spanish giants Atletico and managed a decent tally of 22 goals in return.

Spurs fans have been crying out for the north London club to bring in a winger recently as attackers such as Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli quite often drift infield.
