Tottenham’s want-away playmaker Giovani dos Santos has had his hopes dashed of a move away from White Hart Lane after Sevilla declared he is no longer a target.
It is thought that the Spanish club had real interest in the Mexican International who has found first team opportunities had to come by this season but could not agree a fee with Spurs and were set to renew their interest in January with Harry Redknapp reported to be willing to let the player go.
Sevilla President Jose Maria del Nido told spanish radio station SVCF “ he is now not a target for us because his is superior to the market value” so it would seem that Tottenham value Dos Santos more than Sevilla are willing to pay and therefore will turn their attentions elsewhere.
Dos Santos has had loan spells at Ipswich Town, Galatasaray before returning to La Liga with Racing Santander and the former Barcelona Youth player has seen his form dip and has not showed the potential that arrived with him in 2008 and will wonder whether any other team are going to show an interest, in recent days it has been reported that Everton are keen for a loan deal but no official word as of yet.
