Barcelona sent scouts to watch Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen during Tottenham’s Champions League clash against Real Madrid
Officials from the Catalan giants were in attendance to run the rule over the England striker and Danish star during Tuesday night's draw
TOTTENHAM could face another transfer struggle to retain their stars after Barcelona reportedly sent scouts to watch Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen on Tuesday.
Recent rumours have been claiming that Real Madrid were interested in the England striker.
And many felt Spurs' Champions League clash with the Galacticos was an audition for the hotshot forward.
But Mundo Deportivo report this morning that in fact it was Barca running the rule over Kane AND his Danish team-mate Eriksen during the 1-1 draw.
Former Nou Camp star and current director of the Catalans Roberto Fernandez was spotted in attendance for the showdown in the capital.
The reasons for the potential interest in 24-year-old Kane are obvious.
He has scored more goals (36) than Cristiano Ronaldo (32) in 2017 at club level to become one of the most-feared frontmen in Europe.
Spurs are determined to keep hold of him and will be equally keen to retain the services of Eriksen, aged 25.
NO CHOICE Real Madrid obliged to bid for Harry Kane says former club president Ramon Calderon
The playmaker is the highest scoring Dane in Premier League history and found the net in the recent victory over Bournemouth.
But Barca have been monitoring him since his days at Ajax.
