Tottenham Hotspur fans are looking up from their pints here in the Football Transfer Tavern and towards our landlord.
The boss notes that Metro seem to think one of their players could well be offered an escape route this summer.
Since making his big money to White Hart Lane from Valencia, Spanish forward Roberto Soldado has not exactly seen things go to plan.
It has not helped his case that for nearly half the money, international compatriot Alvaro Negredo has been prolific for Manchester City!
Tim Sherwood and his board will be looking to buy a new forward in the summer according to the majority of our punters, who seem to think that the links to Atletico Madrid’s Diego Costa could well lead to a sensational swap deal this summer.
Atleti and Diego Simeone are considering making a swoop for Soldado, who would be willing to consider his future at the club – and would be keen on a move back to Spain should a forward come in to challenge for his first team spot at White Hart Lane.
One of our punters even makes the point that Atleti will be in the Champions League next season – and we doubt that Spurs would be!
Do you think that Soldado’s ears would prick up at a potential escape route back to Spain and Atletico? Let us know your thoughts below.
