# Sevilla offer Spurs bargain Spanish star

![](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Alvaro-Negredo231-150x150.jpeg)[Tottenham](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/tottenham-hotspur/) fans were left enjoying their evening pints after [Metro](https://metro.co.uk/2012/12/07/tottenham-offered-cut-price-alvaro-negredo-deal-by-stricken-sevilla-3306712/) journalist Jamie Sanderson arrived at the Football Transfer Tavern with news that [Sevilla](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/sevilla/) are ready to offer long-term target [Alvaro Negredo](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/alvaro-negredo/) to the White Hart Lane club in a cut-price January deal.

Sanderson propped up on a bar stool to explain to punters that former manager Harry Redknapp has previously enquired about signing the 27-year-old during last summer and now Sevilla are prepared to sell him to Spurs providing they fork out the £17 million asking price.

The La Liga side are currently in the depths of a huge financial crisis and need to offload their main talents in an attempt to pay off around £15 million worth of debt. The striker demonstrated his full worth to his current side on Friday night coming off the bench to secure a 2-2 draw for his team with a stoppage time equaliser against Espanyol.

Sevilla rejected a bid thought to be around £25m from Spurs on transfer deadline day so this deal would represent value for money for Andre Villas-Boas as he seeks to build a team capable of challenging for Champions League qualification.
