Tottenham are reportedly eyeing up moves for for Barcelona duo Martin Montoya and Marc Bartra.

The Blaugrana outfit would be loathe to losing two of their upcoming stars, both of which have first-team experience with the Catalan giants, but with chances hard to come by, Montoya and Bartra may feel their respective futures are best served elsewhere.

Right-back Montoya's contract expires at the end of the summer and a host of clubs, including Bayern Munich, Roma, Malaga and Valencia, are said to be interested in the 20-year-old, who has already been called up to the Spanish national team.

Bartra also faces stiff competition for a starting spot in the starting XI and despite clocking up two La Liga and two Copa Del Rey appearances, currently finds himself behind Dani Alves in the pecking order.

Spurs are hoping that Bartra and Montoya would both be interested in moves to White Hart Lane, especially with former Barca youngsters Giovani Dos Santos and Cristian Cabellos currently plying their trade with the North London outfit.
