Tottenham are reportedly planning a £30million bid for Valencia striker David Villa.

The Spanish international hitman has become one of Europe's hottest striking properties since moving to the Mestalla.

Now 25, he's bagged 45 goals in 80 games since joining Los Che from Real Zaragoza.

Most of Europe's top clubs have been linked with a move for Villa - with Real Madrid and Liverpool rumoured to be among his suitors.

But now it appears that Spurs could also be in the race, with former Sevilla boss Juande Ramos apparently desperate to bring him to White Hart Lane.

One sticking point could be the reputed 150 million Euros (around £100million) buyout clause in Villa's Valencia contract.

But the player's agent Jose Luis Tamargo told The News Of The World: "Many clubs have contacted me to ask about the chances of a player who is guaranteed to score goals in England.

"But I am convinced if Spurs present an offer Valencia will study the subject."
