Tottenham have been linked with a move for Bayern Munich's
unsettled striker Luca Toni but they will have to battle neighbours
Arsenal if they want to sign the Italian marksman. Toni is reported
to be finding it hard to adapt to life in the Bundesliga and there
are claims he longs for a return to Serie A, where he was a legend
at Fiorentina.
His aggressive style and ability to convert chances would make him
a natural for the Premier League, however, and Spurs and Arsenal
have been impressed with his success in germany where he is the
joint-top scorer.
Spurs boss Juande Ramos tried to sign the 30-year-old in the summer
when he was in charge at Sevilla while Gunners manager Wenger
believes Toni would provide the firepower needed to end the wait
for silverware after a couple of barren seasons.
Toni recently helped end Scotland's bid to reach the Euro 2008
finals when he scored against the Tartan Army at rainlashed Hampden
Park as the Azzuri stormed to a 2-1 victory.
