da bet7: Roberto Soldado’s expected move to Tottenham is not done yet, after the striker refused to comment on his future, reports the Metro.
da leao: The 28-year-old’s prospective move to White Hart Lane had looked all but done and dusted, but the official announcement is yet to be made, despite Soldado being replaced as Valencia captain by Ricardo Costa.
But despite the loss of the armband and widespread reports suggesting a £25million fee has been agreed with the North London club, Soldado has remained tight lipped over his future.
‘I do not know what is going on at the moment,’ he said. ‘At the moment, I cannot say anything.
‘We will wait to see what happens. When the right time comes, I will speak, as I always have done.’
Soldado has emerged as Andre Villas-Boas’ top summer target as the clubs hunt for a world class striker continues.
The club missed out on another Spanish forward in the form of David Villa earlier in the summer, who opted to join Atletico Madrid despite the deal being thought to be virtually done and dusted.
Tottenham will be desperate to ensure something similar does not happen with Soldado, with supporters being left frustrated at the clubs failure to sign a striker in the past two transfer windows.
