Spurs and Chelsea to do battle for £30 million Spanish star
According to reports in various papers today, Chelsea and Tottenham are to do battle for Valencia striker David Villa after the player admitted he may leave the La Liga giants in the summer.
The 26-year old has been linked with dozens of moves to the Premier League over the past 18 months or so but as of now nothing has happened. He is widely regarded as one of Europe's top strikers and is currently valued at around £30 million.
Villa has been at Valencia for over three years now and has scored an impressive 50 goals in that time. He also has 29 caps for his country and has scored 13 goals in those appearances.
I personally believe Villa would be a terrific addition to either side. He is a terrific striker who scores bags of goals for both club and country. I do however feel £30 million may be a little bit hefty although when you think about it, Tottenham did spend £16 million on Darren Bent!
