Spurs target Milito, Pavlyuchenko, Bentley and Capel?

Posted by Stevio in Rumours on July 21st, 2008

If the alleged tapped up duo of Dimitar Berbatov and Robbie Keane get their wish and join Manchester United and Liverpool respectively, Spurs are, as you would expect, looking to bring in replacements.

According to The Sun, we’re eyeing Real Zaragoza striker Diego Milito. The 29-year-old Argentine would cost £10m and has been recommended by Gustavo Poyet.

Another target could be Spartak Moscow striker Roman Pavlyuchenko. I recall David Pleat referring to him as a similar player to noneother than Teddy Sheringham. The 26-year-old’s club are said to want £15m.

The paper also say we’ve had bids rejected for wingers David Bentley and Diego Capel of Blackburn Rovers and Sevilla respectively. Bentley would cost £17m and Capel possibly £15m.

The Daily Mail report that we’ve agreed to pay the £11.5m get-out clause of Sevilla winger Diego Capel, however this looks inaccurate as Sevilla president Jose Maria del Nido denies that this is the case.

He told ABC Sevilla: “After talks with his representatives, I do not have any information about Tottenham being prepared to pay his clause, which is 15.6million euros [£12.36m].

“What I would ask is whether a foreign club could exercise the buy-out clause in Spain?”

The same paper are again reporting that we’ve won the race to sign Manchester City defender Richard Dunne.

Robbie Keane’s international team-mate has one-year remaining on his deal at City, and would cost just £5m.

At 28, he’s entering his prime, and would definitely be a bargain buy.
