Joining Barcelona from Liverpool in January 2018 in a deal worth an eye-watering £142million, the Brazilian's struggles at the Nou Camp duly saw him linked with a swift Premier League return.

Spurs' name continued to crop up every transfer window in regards to a deal for the attacking midfielder and it did look to be a move that made complete sense.

Needing quality players to help the team kick on to the next level after missing out on major trophies, Christian Eriksen was also struggling to have the same impact on the team and did look to be on his way out of the club.

Eventually losing the Dane in January 2020 to Inter Milan in a cut-price deal due to his contract status, Tottenham are still trying to find a replacement for the Brentford man two years on from his exit.
