Tottenham have opened talks with Celta Vigo to sign midfielder Pape Cheikh Diop, Sky Sports News understands.

The 20-year-old Spain youth international is an athletic box-to-box midfielder scouted by the club for some time.

Spurs are hoping to conclude a deal for the player by next week - and he would become their first transfer of the summer window.

The club had made Everton's Ross Barkley their top midfield target this summer, but the Toffees have given no indication yet that they will reduce their £50m asking price before the deadline.

Daniel Levy and Mauricio Pochettino began the window relaxed about their plan but, with several targets understood to have fallen through, time is running out for them to strengthen their squad.

They have now made a move for Diop, who was born in Senegal but raised in Spain and made 19 appearances for Celta Vigo last season, only five of which were starts in La Liga.

Diop has 10 caps for Spain's U19 side however and is considered one of the country's most promising prospects.

Sky sources understand Spurs also want to sign a new right-back and a new forward before September 1, and could also add a new young goalkeeper.

Tottenham have been outbid by Lyon for Pape Cheikh Diop but the Celta Vigo starlet is won over by the idea of a move to London.
Spurs offered close to £9million for the 20-year-old midfielder last week and must find more before the La Liga club will agree to sell.
Lyon have opened with a larger bid and proposed a lucrative package of personal terms for Pape Cheikh.
Mauricio Pochettino is still waiting for his first signing of the summer but Tottenham are closing in on a number of targets with the deadline two weeks away.
They are in talks with Ajax about Colombia defender Davinson Sanchez who is rated at more than £30m and are lining up a £3m deal for back-up goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga of Southampton.
They are among the Premier League teams trailing Serge Aurier of Paris Saint-Germain.

Pape Chiekh has a £25m release clause in a contract which runs until 2021 although Lyon and Spurs are convinced he can be prised away from Celta Vigo for considerably less.
He was born in Senegal, moved to Spain at the age of 14 and has represented Spain at Under 17 and Under 19 levels.
