Spurs eye £18 million Dutch striker to replace Berbatov
Tottenham are keeping tabs on Ajax striker Klaas Jan Huntelaar as a possible replacement to Manchester United bound Dimitar Berbatov. The Dutch international said last year he would not be at Ajax come the start of the 08/09 season but so far nothing has materialised in terms of an exit from the Amsterdam Arena. (Guardian)
The 25-year old has been linked with a whole host of clubs in recent months including Man United, Arsenal, Juventus, Barcelona and Real Madrid to name a few. It is understood Ajax will only listen to offers of £18 million and above and Juande Ramos is prepared to meet that asking price accoring to the Guardian.
I personally think if Spurs were to sign Huntelaar and Arshavin from Zenit they would be sorted. Huntelaar would be a tremendous signing and at £18 million would be good value for money. In 80 league games for Ajax, Huntelaar has scored 72 goals in the process, which in my eyes in very impressive and if he can produce anything like that kind of form at White Hart Lane it would be terrific.
