Tottenham Hotspur Manager Still Tracking Luis Fabiano

Sevilla’s Brazilian striker Luis Fabiano is still a target of Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp. The 29-year-old striker has been linked with a number of clubs including Manchester United, Inter Milan and Tottenham Hotspur.

Sevilla is trying to keep their hold on the Brazilian star. However, Fabiano, after a successful World Cup campaign with Brazil, is now interested to take up new challenge. It is also pretty much understandable that Fabiano, at 29, would now like to make some cash in, knowing that this is the right time to make a significant move, most probably his last in his career.

Initially, Luis Fabiano was interested to join a club of Inter Milan’s stature. However, having seen no significant move from Inter or Manchester United, Fabiano recently indicated his desire to join Tottenham Hotspur who can offer Champions League football this season.

Redknapp, terming Fabiano a ‘top player’, has admitted that he would love to secure the Brazilian’s service. However, he dismissed any move for Real Madrid’s out-of-favor striker Raul, citing the club’s financial inability.

Raul is on the verge of leaving Real Madrid as manager Jose Mourinho has already made it clear that the Madrid legend is not part of his plan this season. Now, German club FC Schalke 04 seems to Raul’s likely destination.

Tottenham manager is also in the race of signing France international Loic Remy, but is facing competition from fellow Premier League clubs including Arsenal, West Ham United and Liverpool.
