Tottenham battling four European giants to sign Chelsea midfielder
Tottenham Hotspur have set their sights on a young Chelsea starlet, who is turning a lot of heads out on loan, but the North London club face multiple stumbling blocks in their efforts to sign him.
The central midfield area is one that Tottenham will look to strengthen this summer, particularly amidst news that Yves Bissouma is expected to depart Spurs.
It turns out that Tottenham Hotspur have been impressed by one Chelsea youngster, who has not played a single game for the Blues since signing from Vasco da Gama over two years ago.
The player in question is Andrey Santos, who is making a name for himself on loan at Strasbourg this season, and it turns out that Spurs are not the only ones who have been alerted by his development in France.

This report comes from CaughtOffside, who claim that Santos does not want to return to Stamford Bridge this summer and is looking to leave the West London club on a permanent transfer.
The outlet states that Tottenham have been joined in the race for the 20-year-old by Arsenal and Newcastle United, while Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan are also keeping an eye on the youngster.
According to the report, the Blues are open to cashing in on the Brazil international for a fee of around €45m-€50m (£38.4m-£42.7m) this summer.
Spurs may face a roadblock in Santos pursuit
Apart from the fact that Spurs face a lot of competition from Champions League sides for the midfielder, there is also one other roadblock that the Lilywhites may have to deal with.
CaughtOffside says that Chelsea are not too keen on selling Santos to a direct rival, which might give PSG and Milan an advantage over the Premier League trio.
The publication adds that the Blues are certainly not expecting to be short of suitors for the Brazilian this summer.
