Republic of Ireland and Tottenham defender Steven Carr is being linked with a possible move to Barcelona.

Full-back Carr, who was reportedly in Spain when Barcelona beat Valencia 3-2 on Sunday, is said to be a Stg£10million target for the Catalan club.

Although Carr only signed a new contract last season under former White Hart Lane boss George Graham, his agent Robert Segal today told the Evening Standard that while happy at Spurs, Carr would not dismiss the opportunity to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world.

He said: "Steve is very happy at Spurs but if a club like Barcelona were to make an official approach, then he would think very seriously about it." -PA
