Tottenham Hotspur in talks to sign A.S Roma striker Mirko Vucinic: Serie A news
According to reports in the Italian media, English Premier League side, Tottenham Hotspur, have opened talks with A.S Roma striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mirko-Vucinic-c26024.
Vucinic is unsettled at Rome and has told the club that he will leave in the summer transfer window. Reports claim that Harry Redknapp has set the Montenegrin as his top transfer target and will do his level best to bring him to
the White Hart Lane.
The striker is in the last year of his contract at the Stadio Olimpico Rome and their http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sporting-89-c40576 Director, Walter Sabatini, has revealed that he will sell him rather than risk losing him on a free transfer next season.
Redknapp is looking to strength his strike force, as his first choice http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Peter-Crouch-c29741 had a less than impressive 2010/11 campaign. The lilywhites have reportedly offered 15-million-pounds for the former
Lecce man but http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 want £17.5m.
A club insider revealed that they are in talks with the Giallorossi officials and are hoping that a deal will be struck in the next few days. He added that the 27-year-old will be a huge success at the club and will add quality
to the squad.
Talking to the reporters the insider said: “Vucinic is an extremely talented player and a big improvement on what we've got, so an approach has been made to see if a deal can be done. He is versatile, skilful, he scores goals and
he can play either on his own up front or with a partner – so he suits our needs.”
“Roma want it decided quickly one way or the other so Harry will have to decide whether he wants to push through with it to the end.”
Vucinic has also attracted interest from Premier League side, Blackburn Rovers. The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rovers-c40385 have also had an approximately 13-million-pounds bid for the striker rejected by Roma.
The Montenegrin international has scored 63 goals from 200 appearances in his five year stay with the Rome based side. He has also scored 11 goals in 21 appearances for the Montenegrin national team.
