Spurs Close To Striker Deal

Tottenham are working on a deal to sign Juventus striker Amauri ahead of the transfer window opening. Harry Redknapp is on the look out for a new striker as doubts surround the future of Roman Pavlyuchenko and a move for Amauri looks to be on the cards. The Brazilian-born Italian international has fallen completely out of favour with Juve and has yet to make an appearance this season. Clubs in Italy are keen but his agent Ernesto Bronzetti, says a move to the Premier League is on the cards and Tottenham are said to be the club ready to sign him. "The player is close to signing for an English club," Bronzetti revealed. "Genoa want him too, as do Palermo , but he would prefer to go to Spain or England. "Of course, if a top Italian club were to make an offer, then it would be difficult to say no, and Napoli are one of them."
