Gomes, 24, has not lived up to his billing and is stuck in the shadow of Andres Iniesta, 33, with the interest in Philippe Coutinho even worse for him.

Spurs have been tipped off Gomes will be let out in the next window.

Their tracking of Gomes puts doubt against a January move for Barkley.

The Everton contract rebel would involve a big fee, whereas Gomes may even get to go on loan or for a fee of £20million.

Meanwhile, Spurs have looked to tie down Dele Alli on a new long-term deal.

The England ace has opened talks over a new contract that will see him bag more than £100,000-a-week.

Barkley rejected a deadline day move to Chelsea.

And subsequent reports suggested he would snub North London for West London in the new year.
