Anas Sharbini has been linked with a move to Spurs

Anas Sharbini, a 25-year-old Croatian Midfielder that has been called “The new Modric”, might be moving to London according to his agent Ned Kujundzic.

Sharbini is currently playing for Al-Ittihad which signed him in the summer of 2012 for a transfer fee of around £ 1 million. He also represents Croatia National Team.

He was selected by IMScouting as a player to watch due to his performances for Rijeka and he was tracked by a number of top European clubs.

When asked about a possible transfer Ned Kujundzic said: "His club Al Ittihad and Tottenham are in talks about transfer and I can only say that Spurs really wants Anas. It is now up to clubs to agree transfer."

Let’s look at 5 facts about this player as I'm sure he is a little bit unknown for a lot of Spurs fans (HITC Sports):
