Are Spurs about to make a cheeky move for Arsenal and Liverpool target?
If you are to believe what you read in the papers, Tottenham are preparing a summer move for this man.
After Gareth Barry's comments a few months back that he would leave Aston Villa if the club failed to secure a top four finish this season (which they won't) several clubs have been linked with his signature. Arsenal and Liverpool continued to be mentioned, however today a new name emerged.
Tottenham. Now first of all, why on earth would Barry want to move to White Hart Lane?
With Barry already stating his desire to play Champions League football next season and with Spurs looking destined to miss out on that final Europa League spot, I must say I think this one is a non-starter.
For me, Barry, 28, is without doubt one of the finest midfield players in the country and I feel he would be taking a massive step back in his career if he where to join Spurs. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Harry Redknapp make a cheeky bid for him come what July, however I would be fairly certain that either Liverpool or indeed Arsenal will be Barry's eventual destination.
