Spurs, Wigan want de la Red

Spurs, Wigan want de la Red

04 December 2007 - 23:44

Tottenham and Wigan Athletic are both chasing Getafe's attacking midfielder Ruben de la Red. The ex-Real Madrid youngster is very highly rated in his homeland, and Juande Ramos is reportedly keen to link up with his fellow countryman.

  • Chelsea striker won't return after temporary stint

  • During his time at Real Madrid, Fabio Capello brought de la Red into the first team squad and gave him his opportunity. However, after a period of time his opportunities at Real were limited, and a move to Primera Liga rivals Getafe beckoned.



    Getafe's form improved and coincided with the emergence of de la Red as a top class midfielder.



    Juande Ramos was known to be interested in bringing de la Red to Sevilla before he joined Getafe, and although Real Madrid have a buy-back option on de la Red; Real are not interested in taking this up.



    Tottenham will be likely to have to fork out over £3.5 million for a player that actually played against Spurs in the UEFA Cup earlier in the season.
