Tottenham Alerted As Prolific Spanish Striker Hints At Exit

Sevilla striker Alvaro Negredo could be on his way out of the Spanish side after reports linked the striker with a move in the January transfer window.

The Spain international striker has been strongly linked with a number of European clubs after a fantastic couple of seasons in La Liga with Tottenham one of the most likely options.

Spurs attempted to land the striker in the summer, but could not come up with enough funds to persuade Sevilla to part with their star player.

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is a known admirer of the striker and with Roman Pavlyuchenko linked with a move away from White Hart Lane in January, they may need to strengthen their attacking options.

The 26-year-old has scored five goals in just seven appearances for Spain and is regarded as one of the hottest properties in Spanish football.

Negredo was signed by Real Madrid in 2005 but never managed to progress past the B team and was eventually sold to Almeria. However, Madrid exercised their but back option and once again re-signed the player for €5million.

They then instantly sold Negredo to Sevilla for €15million, where he has continued to impress, scoring 34 goals in 75 league games for the club.

The striker is currently contracted to Sevilla until 2013 and the Spanish side are keen to extend this deal. However, Negredo's representative Alejandro Camano has hinted that the striker could leave.

"He has a contract until 2013. Sevilla wants to renew it but that does not mean his future is indeed in Seville," declared Camano.
