Tottenham have revived their
interest for Real Madrid striker
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.
Real Madrid have already
accepted a £15.5million bid from Stuttgart that could rise to
£17.2m, but the 25-year-old is in no rush to complete the move and
will wait to see what other offers arise.
The Daily Mail says Spurs spoke to Madrid last month
about a triple swoop for Huntelaar, Arjen Robben and Gabriel Heinze
after initially considering former Manchester United striker Ruud
van Nistelrooy.
The players' high wages and desire for Champions League football
proved a stumbling block. However, despite having many admirers,
other bids for Huntelaar have barely materialised.
Roma are keen but do not have the funds to make a move and
Stuttgart and Spurs are currently the only two teams in the race
for a player who only left Ajax in January.
