Spurs eye Spain starlet

Tottenham are reportedly hopeful of completing a deal for Real Betis star Alvaro Vadillo.

It is understood that the 20-year-old’s negotiations over a new contract at the club have stalled, alerting the Premier League club.

Vadillo, a Spain Under-20 international, made only seven appearances for the Segunda Division outfit last season.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino is keen on a move for the young Spaniard, with the Argentina boss becoming doubtful over the futures of Erik Lamela and Andros Townsend at White Hart Lane.
