Tottenham Hotspur defender Vedran Corluka reportedly emerges as a surprise transfer target for new Barcelona boss Tito Vilanova.

Barcelona are reportedly interested in signing Tottenham Hotspur defender Vedran Corluka.

The 26-year-old Croatia international, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Bayer Leverkusen, has expressed his desire to leave White Hart Lane this summer.

Tito Vilanova is keen to strengthen his side's central defensive options in preparation for next season's La Liga title race and Corluka's confidence in possession has reportedly impressed the new Barca boss.

Club representatives have been closely watching Croatia's matches at Euro 2012 and, according to El Mundo Deportivo, it is Corluka - and not teammate Luka Modric - who they are most interested in.

Corluka has made 119 Premier League appearances, 81 of which have been for Spurs.
