# Another Spurs Player Heading To La Liga?

**It looks as if Modric won’t be the only Spurs player to join the Spanish League after the Daily Mail [reported](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2166710/Giovani-dos-Santos-nearing-8m-Atletico-Madrid.html) that Dos Santos has flown back to London to put the final touches in a move which will see him move to Athletico Madrid.**

Giovani Dos Santos was at his pre-olympic training with Mexico before he was permitted to leave the camp to fly to Tottenham. The move is valued to cost £8 million for the current Europa League winners.

The Tottenham winger signed in 2008 from Barcelona but has failed to make an impression on the first team. In his 4 year career at the lane, Dos Santos has played in 30 games scoring 3 times and assisting a further 3 goals. He has been sent out on loan to Ipswich, Galatatsary and Racing Santander.

After Dos Santos signed for Spurs for €6 million with a potential €5 million in add on fees, which is unlikely to have been paid due to a limited number of League appearances, it looks as if Tottenham might be able to break even with this deal which won’t damage the bank balance in the long run.
