Reports in Dutch and English media indicate that Tottenham Hotspur are taking keen interest in signing FC Twente Enschede’s Bryan Ruiz in the ongoing summer transfer market. According to close sources, the Spurs are looking to make an offer for the Costa
Rican International before the summer transfer window concludes.
The 25-year-old arrived at De Grolsch Veste in the summer of 2009 and excelled in his debut season with the Tukkers, under the leadership of Steve McClaren. The striker netted an impressive 24 goals in 34 appearances, helping the Enschede outfit to their
maiden Eredivisie title by the end of the 2009/10 campaign.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Costa-c9458 Rican ace performed impressively in the 2010/11 season as well, scoring nine goals while providing five assists in 27 appearances. His good performances have attracted interest from a host of European clubs, but the striker has so far denied making
a move away from De Grolsch Veste.
Harry Redknapp, the Spurs head coach, is well aware of the 25-year-old’s class and is reportedly a great admirer of the striker. The Costa Rican International has the versatility to play in almost all attacking roles, and Redknapp is interested precisely
for the same reason.
Ruiz earlier revealed that the Spurs have approached his agent to talk about a possible transfer to White Hart Lane before the new season commences.
“They have approached my agent, but I have yet to really discuss the interest with him. I was told about Spurs' interest three days ago [Friday]. Spurs are a great club and I'd be honoured to play alongside Rafael van der Vaart. I'd say that the chance that
I'll leave Twente is 50 per cent”, Ruiz said while talking to the media.
The Spurs are in search of an imposing striker who could lead their attack pack dominantly. With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roman-Pavlyuchenko-c31639 failing to capitalise on scoring opportunities in the 2010/11 season, Redknapp has clearly expressed his desire
to add a prolific striker to his squad to compete successfully in the upcoming campaign.
Ruiz has an ongoing contract with the Tukkers that runs until the summer of 2013. The outfit from Enschede would not let go of their prized asset in the ongoing summer transfer market. However, reports suggest that an offer in the region of 16 million Euros
could prove too tempting an offer to turn down.
