Tottenham target Real Madrid’s Klaas Jan Huntelaar,
Gabriel Heinze, Arjen Robben in £37m mega deal
.
.
Tottenham supremo Daniel Levy has begun talks with Real
Madrid over a stunning £36million swoop for Arjen Robben, Gabriel
Heinze and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.
The White Hart Lane chairman went to Spain to seal a deal for
the trio who, despite their quality, are surplus to requirements at
the Bernabeu following Kaka’s arrival and the impending capture of
Cristiano Ronaldo.
Levy had discussions with sporting director Miguel Pardeza, in
charge of a clear-out at Real.
Spurs boss Harry Redknapp made Ruud van Nistelrooy his prime
target. But Levy has yet to be convinced the 32-year-old former
Manchester United striker, who would command £90,000 a week, would
be good business following his return from almost a season out with
a knee injury.
Instead, Tottenham have moved for 25-year-old former Chelsea
winger Robben, Huntelaar, also 25, and Heinze, a long-time
target.
Robben is the surprise of the trio. In his first season at the
Bernabeu he helped Madrid become champions, his fourth league title
in six years.
