Tottenham Hotspurs have edged a step closer to the capture of the signature of Barcelona's striker David Villa. The player's representatives stated that a deal in priniciple has been agreed between the two parties involved.Â
The only thing that remains for Spurs to agree with, is the transfer sum for the Spanish International with his current club Barcelona. The Catalan giants are presently depending a fee in the range of £8 m for their striker. Â
Spurs are not willing to offer such a high amount for a player who is not at his prime form and this has so far prevented the deal from going ahead.
Â
Villa currently gets a salary package of around £110k a week but is unlikely to see much first team action at the Nou Camp in the upcoming season following the arrival of Brazilian wonderkid Neymar.
The Spurs manager Andre Villas-Boas is also keen on the signing of Christian Benteke as he tries to form a new attack partnership. According to reports the North London club are hopeful of signing the Belgian International for a fee of £20m.
