Espanyol Set Sights On Spurs Outcast

Tottenham outcast Giovani Dos Santos is a target for Espanyol, who hope to pair the Mexican with his younger brother Jonathan.

Giovani is set to leave Spurs this summer with manager Harry Redknapp keen to streamline his squad in time for the new season.

It was thought that the attacker, who spent time on loan at Racing Santander last season, was edging towards a move to Sevilla but now their La Liga rivals Espanyol are ready to make an offer.

According to reports in Spain, Espanyol are currently closing in on a £1m move for Barcelona's Jonathan Dos Santos.

And once that deal is complete, they are set to turn their attentions to Giovani, who is desperate to return to Spain after a miserable three-year spell in England.

Spurs are similarly desperate to get rid of the playmaker but are believed to be demanding around £8.5m for him, ruling many clubs out of the race.

Espanyol, however, are convinced the Premier League club will do business for a lot less than that amount and are preparing a bid.
