  • Tomislav Gomelt joined Tottenham from NK Zagreb back in 2012
  • The midfielder had loan spells with Espanyol B, Royal Antwerp and Bari
  • Gomelt has been offered a permanent contract by Bari after being released 

Tottenham's young Croatian midfielder Tomislav Gomelt is set to join Italian club Bari on a free transfer after being released at White Hart Lane.

Gomelt, 20, joined Spurs from NK Zagreb in 2012 but was unable to play competitive games on his arrival because Croatia were outside the EU at the time.

He went on loan to Espanyol's B team, Royal Antwerp and last season had a spell at Serie B side Bari where he did enough for them to offer a permanent contract.

Contemporaries of Gomelt at the Spurs Academy like Nabil Bentaleb have gone on to become first-team players at White Hart Lane.

A statement on Spurs' website read: 'The 20-year-old Croatian signed professional terms in January, 2013, and has had loan spells at Espanyol B, Royal Antwerp and FC Bari since then.

'We wish Tomislav all the best for the future.'
