Negredo and Mane to Spurs

Alvaro Negredo and Mane could be set for a move to the Premiership. The Almeria duo could be Tottenham coach Juande Ramos' first dip into the Spanish transfer market since moving to England.

Both of the players have been superb in La Liga this season and Negredo was signed only in the summer from Real Madrid, where he performed for the B team.

"There does exist interest from big clubs in England, Germany and France for our players at Almeria but we have not received any formal offers," insisted Almeria supremo Alfonso Garca.

Negredo himself quipped: "For me it is good to hear that Tottenham follow me. But I do not know any more details. Now in my head I am only thinking about Almeria and to play as much as I can for them."
