According to Italian club Fiorentina, Spurs have had a £4m offer for winger Mario Santana accepted.

Fiorentina sporting director Pantaleo Corvino told The Sun: “We’ve had an offer from Tottenham who have arranged to pay €5m.

“It is a figure that satisfies us because Santana does not feature in our plans for the 2008-09 season.

“I expect Santana to join Spurs within the next few days as he has been offered a three or four-year contract in London.”
