Tottenham agrees fee for Soldado

Tottenham has reached an agreement with Valencia for striker Roberto Soldado and will pay the player’s buyout clause of 30 million euros (US$39.84 million), the La Liga club said yesterday.

“Valencia have reached an agreement with Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, pending the corresponding medical examination, for the transfer of Roberto Soldado for the amount equivalent to that of his release clause,” the club said in a statement on its website.

A Valencia spokesman said the buyout fee was 30 million euros, which will be a record transfer for Totteham.

Spurs spent about 17 million pounds (US$25.94 million) to bring in midfielder Paulinho from Corinthians last month.

Soldado will provide competition for Emmanuel Adebayor and Jermaine Defoe up front.

Meanwhile, Tottenham forward Gareth Bale continues to be strongly linked with a move to Real Madrid.

Reports said Real has offered a world-record fee in excess of 85 million pounds for Bale.
