Tottenham to sign Romas Osvaldo

Last updated : 16 August 2013 By DSG

Tottenham director Franco Baldidni originally signed the player during his time at Roma and is thought to be back in for the player once more. It is also believed that Baldini has been encouraged to sign the player instead of Roma's highly rated Erik Lamela.Baldini originally contacted the Italian side regarding the availability of the young Argentine but has been warned off the player. Instead Roma chiefs made it clear that he wasn't available but Osvaldo could be a more viable option.

The signing could see the end of either Emmanuel Adebayor or Jermaine Defoe. Defoe is thought to have had dinner with West Ham boss Sam Allardyce and it is believed eitehr are available after the purchase of Roberto Soldado from Valencia
