Tottenham eyeing at David Villa

Tottenham have opened talks over a £10million swoop for Barcelona striker David Villa and have renewed their interest in long-term target Leandro Damiao.Sportsmail revealed Andre Villas-Boas’ interest in the striker earlier this month, and the Spanish club have now been made aware of Spurs’ intention to land Villa ahead of next season.
The Nou Camp club are willing to sell the Spain international this summer, who has found first-team football difficult to come by this season, but want a fee of around £12million.

Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy will not match Barca’s asking price but hopes he can negotiate a lower price.
Arsenal also have a long-term interest in Villa, but the striker is understood to be less of a priority for Arsene Wenger.
Villas-Boas, who will listen to offers for Emmanuel Adebayor, wants to bolster his striking options this summer.
And talks between Spurs and Internacional over an £18m move for Damiao have reopened.

Target: Brazil and Internacional striker Leandro Damiao has been on Spurs wanted list long-term

The Brazil striker came close to joining the White Hart Lane club in January, but Levy could not agree a fee.
However, discussions between both clubs have recommenced with Spurs chiefs confident of finally landing the centre-forward.
Tottenham are also growing increasingly confident that Gareth Bale will stay despite concrete interest from Real Madrid.
As revealed by Sportsmail yesterday, the Spanish giants will test Spurs’ resolve to keep the Wales forward with a £65m bid.
But Spurs are confident Bale will sign a contract extension, worth in the region of £170,000 per week, before the start of the season.
