Seems Arry' is going for Mirko Vucinic.
IF that is true, it would suggest to me that he knows he has lost out in the chase for Suarez...
MIRKO VUCINIC NEXT HARRY REDKNAPP TARGET
TOTTENHAM manager Harry Redknapp has made Roma striker Mirko Vucinic his next January target after beating Chelsea to the signing of Steven Pienaar.
Midfielder Pienaar completed his £3million move to Spurs and signed a four-and-a-half-year deal worth £70,000-a-week, which is around twice what Chelsea were prepared to pay the South Africa international.
Having got Pienaar, Redknapp’s priority is to strengthen his striking options with Robbie Keane still expected to leave White Hart Lane this month.
Spurs have already enquired about taking Vucinic, 27, on loan with a view to a permanent move at the end of the season, but his current club Roma are keen to keep him.
Vucinic, a Montenegro international, is said to be unhappy at Roma, however, and the Italian club’s financial situation could yet force them to sell. Tottenham would need to come up with a bid of at least £15m to land him.
Sevilla’s out-of-favour Brazilian forward Luis Fabiano is another option for Tottenham, who looked into signing him in the summer. But his £80,000-a-week salary along with complicated ownership arrangements have provided stumbling blocks in the past.
Having spent yesterday at Tottenham’s Chigwell training ground agreeing personal terms and undergoing a medical, Pienaar announced his move on his official Twitter page by saying: “To end speculation I am going to Spurs. I’ve had brilliant years at Everton and it will always be a special place in my heart. I can also confirm I will wear the No40 jersey.”
Redknapp added: “Everything’s agreed and Steven’s going to join us. He’s a good signing, and a very good footballer. I’ve always liked him and he will fit into the way we play.
“I think it’s a fair deal for everyone because Everton have got a good fee in the end.”
