Roberto Soldado (Tottenham)
Another excellent signing by Tottenham and part of a growing Spanish influence in the Premier League, Roberto Soldado arrived at White Hart Lane from Valencia this summer in a £26million move. Spurs manager Andre Villas-Boas has shown plenty of ambition in the transfer market this summer in an attempt to persuade want-away star Gareth Bale that the club can compete with the big boys and make the top four this season. Soldado is certainly the kind of calibre of player to help Spurs achieve that, as he has consistently been one of the best goal-scorers in La Liga for the last five years. The 28-year-old scored 30 goals last season as Valencia narrowly missed out on a Champions League place, but will be hoping that this time he can help his new club achieve that goal. Like so many of Spurs’ signings this summer, Soldado is said to be another player that rivals Arsenal were looking at, and who they probably could have done with.
