According to Marca, Spurs yesterday missed out Real Zaragoza striker Sergio Garcia.

The Spaniard apparently rejected a better deal at Spurs in favour of joining Real Betis.

Betis are reportedly paying more than £8m for the 25-year old.

Garcia’s team-mate at Zaragoza, Diego Milito, had also been linked with moving to Tottenham, however the Argentine opted to re-join Genoa.

It’s transfer deadline day and loads of movement happening.

Firstly, Manchester City defender Vedran Corluka has finally joined Spurs. He’s cost £8.5m and has signed a six-year deal.

The Croatian told his new club’s official website: “I am delighted to be here because I am coming to a big club with great players, great ambition and also my best friend [Luka Modric] is here so it is a very happy day for me.”

Sky Sports News are reporting that Dimitar Berbatov is subject of a ‘British transfer record’ bid from Manchester City. City, are in the process of being taken over by a United Arab Emirates investment company.

There’s plenty of other rumours like Diego Milito joining Spurs from Real Zaragoza. We certainly need another striker, especially if Berbatov goes.
