# Tottenham have scouts watch Liverpool target Nicolo Barella

Tottenham reportedly had scouts keeping a close eye on Liverpool-linked Nicolo Barella during the international break.

[According to Tuttomercatoweb](https://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/serie-a/tmw-tottenham-scout-a-genk-per-italia-usa-obiettivo-barella-1182275), Mauricio Pochettino’s men had scouts running the rule over the midfielder during Italy’s game against the United States.

The game ended 1-0 in Italy’s favour thanks to a late goal from Inter’s Matteo Politano.

The Cagliari midfielder is attracting a wealth of interest from a number of clubs around Europe.

Inter, Liverpool and Milan have all been credited as admirers of the player ahead of the January window.

Pochettino’s side are also expected to launch a move for the Italian international in the coming months.

His performances in Serie A are not going unnoticed, with the young midfielder now regarded among some of the best prospects coming through in what is a new generation of Italian talent.

With interest mounting, Cagliari will be desperate to keep the player beyond January but face a battle to do so.
