Dos Santos Tempted By Tottenham

Mon 02 Jun, 02:09 PM


Barcelona forward Giovani Dos Santos looks set to sign for Tottenham later this week after the player's father revealed a move is close.

Reports in Spain suggest the Mexican winger - who has also been linked with Chelsea and Manchester City in recent weeks - will cost Tottenham a fee of around 9million euros.

"Nothing has been finalised," former Brazilian footballer Zizinho told Mexican sports daily Record.

"But it is an honour that a club as important as Tottenham want to sign Giovani, but nothing can be said officially yet."

Zizinho said his son is excited by the challenge lying ahead in north London.

He added: "Tottenham's ambitious plans have excited Giovani and he just wants to go there and help the team in any way he can.

"It is obvious that leaving Barcelona is a risky decision, but with his qualities it appears that it could be the best option for him."

Giovani is likely to be the first of a host of players to leave Barcelona this summer as the Catalan club looks to rebuild for the future under new coach Pep Guardiola.

  10. Too big for Tottenham? He never plays for his third place club, and has never been good for the national team. If anything Tottenham is taking a risk by signing him.
