Tottenham Hotspur- Player In- David Villa
Spurs narrowly missed out on a place in the Champions League following a fifth placed finish in the Premier League and the club suffered from a lack of goals from the strikers Emmanuel Adebayor and Jermaine Defoe. Manager Andre Villas-Boas is determined to sort that out and will sign at least two quality strikers this summer. His main target is thought to be Barcelona striker David Villa, who is no longer part of the Spanish Champions first team plans. Villa will bring plenty of goals with him to White Hart Lane, having been one of the most reliable marksmen in world football for many years. Although Villa is 31, Barcelona are demanding £12 million for him. Spurs are unwilling to pay that amount of money but believe that they can get Barcelona’s valuation down. Villa is interested in a move to Spurs, having always admired the Premier League and would love to play in England’s top flight at some point in his career.
Tottenham Hotspur- Player Out- Emmanuel Adebayor
Adebayor is arguably one of the most frustrating strikers in world football, with the capacity to do brilliant things but also look lazy and disinterested. He hasn’t had a very good season for Spurs, with supporters frustrated at his lack of effort. It could be that the striker is no longer the player that he once was and Adebayor looks set to leave White Hart Lane, with Andre Villas-Boas looking to sign some new strikers for the forthcoming season. Fenerbache are reportedly interested in signing Adebayor and Spurs will hope that they can offload the striker so that they can create some money to spend on new targets.
