TOTTENHAM are set to make a move for Barcelona striker Sandro Ramirez in January to provide another option to Harry Kane.

Kane played every single game in the Premier League in 2015 as well as featuring in the Europa League and Tottenham's failure to sign Saido Berahino over the sumer drew widespread criticism.
The Englishman has stayed miraculously injury-free but Spurs are concerned about their lack of depth and the possibility of Kane burning out.
According to the Mirror the north London club have already held talks with Barca about signing Sandro in January.
The Spaniard has made 10 La Liga appearances for Barcelona so far this season although mostly from the bench and has played up front and on both wings, making him an attractively versatile prospect at the age of just 20.
Sandro has a buyout clause of £8.8million in his contract, but his current club are willing to reduce the fee if a buyback clause - such as that in Everton's deal for Gerard Deulofeu - is included.
Spurs also had Marseille's Michy Batshuayi on their radar but have now decided to hold off on any move until the summer.
And Mauricio Pochettino stressed that he will not be forced into buying a player at the wrong price in the January window irrespective of any perceived holes in his squad.
"Every day, the chairman and I have chats about transfers," said Pochettino.
"We know we are ready to take the best decision for the team and the future of the club, but it doesn’t mean we need to bring players in or not.
“I am very happy with the squad we have. We have a strong squad and in the place we are after 19 games it means our decisions were good.
“Only if we can improve the team will we make some decisions, but for that it has to be right and the right profile player.”
