Tottenham Hotspur, Everton rivals for Gerard Deulofeu?

Tottenham Hotspur and Everton are reported rivals in the race to capture Barcelona starlet Gerard Deulofeu on a loan deal.

The 19-year-old, who is currently on duty with Spain at the Under-20 World Cup in Turkey, is a rising star in Catalonia, but is said to be keen on acquiring first-team experience before trying to break into the Blaugrana senior squad.

According to The Mirror, the Premier League duo have expressed their interest in a loan move for the forward, who is believed to be interested in linking up fellow Spaniard Roberto Martinez at Goodison Park.

Deulofeu scored 18 goals for Barcelona B in the Segunda Division last season.
