Tottenham have confirmed their interest
in Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, while the striker appears to have shunned a
switch to Stuttgart.
The Dutch international is surplus to requirements at Real
Madrid, despite only joining the Spanish giants in January this
year.
Spurs had looked as if they had missed out, as Stuttgart
agreed a deal with Real Madrid worth around £15million,
but now Huntelaar is heading back to Spain after rejecting the
offer from the Bundesliga side.
That is now expected to signal a swoop from Spurs, after their
boss Harry Redknapp confirmed that the 25-year-old was his top striking
target.
"The lad is a very good goalscorer and I'm still interested in
him," said Redknapp.
"I know of Stuttgart's involvement but I'm hoping we will still
be able to do something.
"There's a lot of talk about who I may or may not be after but
Huntelaar is the one I like."
Arsenal have also been credited with an interest in the player,
who will link back up with Madrid on Thursday, but the Spanish club
are hoping to have secured a sale before the end of the month.
