Brazilian superstar Adriano has been offered to Tottenham on a free transfer for the January transfer market.
Former Inter Milan striker Adriano, 27, is in the middle of a one-year contract with Brazilian club Flamengo but his representatives are hawking him around Europe.
They claim that Adriano has a clause in his contract allowing him to leave on a free transfer in January if a European club makes a move to sign him.
Adriano is keen to return to Europe to try and secure his place in the Brazil World Cup squad after injuries, form and fitness has left his place in danger.
Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp tracked Adriano before the Brazilian powerhouse left Inter Milan following a fall-out with the club because he missed training after going out to celebrate his birthday.
But Adriano, who has scored 27 goals in 47 caps for Brazil, is determined to put his wild days behind him and save his career.
Tottenham have already been sounded out as they believe they may be interested as they look to offload Russian flop Roman Pavlyuchenko in January.
They are interested in Real Madrid’s Dutch striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar while Celtic also like Robbie Keane so it leaves Redknapp ready to shuffle his pack.
That is what has left Adriano’s representatives believing Spurs may be a good first port of call before they try other English, Spanish and Italian clubs. Benfica and Atletico Madrid are also watching developments.
Manchester City and West Ham have been keen in the past but have failed to meet Adriano’s demands and that may be another sticking point.
Tottenham are also watching Club Brugge midfielder Vadis Odjidja, 20, after the holding player was tipped to become a regular for Belgium in their Euro 2012 qualifying campaign.
To me its looks a very strange deal to me. Pavluchenko looks like he's on the way out.....could Robbie Keane be? I mean, if Adriano wants to boost his international chances he's gonna be up against similar players wanting to do the same in Crouch and Defoe.
Keane on the bench?
Would be a good deal I suppose...but you'd think the RS or even Chelsea would be interested more being they're having/will have striker problems this season.
