Premier League - Roma star Vucinic snubs Spurs

Eurosport - Wed, 15 Jul 00:10:00 2009

Roma striker Mirko Vucinic has ruled out a move to Tottenham, reiterating he hopes to remain with the Giallorossi.

Vucinic (pictured, left) has also been a reported target of Manchester United, Spurs and Liverpool this summer.

The 25-year-old has always insisted he wants to stay at the Stadio Olimpico despite the persistent speculation and signed a new four-year deal just last month.

The Montenegro forward admits he would study an offer if one came in but would not move to White Hart Lane.

"At the moment it's useless to talk because there aren't any offers," he said.

"Obviously there are places where I would not want to go. Tottenham? Let's reject that.

"If one should arrive I will talk with the club and we'll see," he added.

"I would be sorry to leave Roma, also because I have just renewed my contract."

Vucinic struggled in his first year with the Eternal City giants but was Roma's second top scorer last season behind captain Francesco Totti with 11 goals.

  1. I dont Know who this guy is(I ain't going to wiki­ him) but by what im hearing, he's not needed. 29+­ days to the start of the new season, and we still­ have'nt signed a soul(Sorry for stating the­ obvious). Would like to be a fly on the wall in that­ very silent board room. God knows what arry and levy­ are up to but i hope it's our sweet sixteen and­ they're talking to Huntelaar or Emanuelson or­ Sneijder or Van der vaart. Please arry work your magic.

  5. Ali K - The Name is Tottenham Hot Spurs. Vucinic can­ and will run all day. Doesn't have a great 1st­ touch and not a PURE scorer, He's good, But Roma­ need a top class striker/ Goal Scorer.

  11. We don't want his rubbish sevices, No no no.­ Don't even like the name. Don't want Viera­ nowhere near N17, all we need is 1-2 defenders and a­ new striker. I like the fact that harry is aiming high­ but as of late we look desperate.

    Maybe­ we could bring Mido back, Steven Taylor (before Arsenal­ beats us to it) Pavel Pogrebnyak ,Dmitri Sychev or­ Aleksandr Kerzhakov just to settle Pavy a bit more.
