According to reports from Fichajes, Tottenham Hotspur are set for talks with the agent of Valencia star Sofiane Feghouli.
The 35-cap international, who scored Algeria’s first World Cup goal in 28 years during a 2-1 defeat to Belgium at Brazil 2014, boasts 30 goals in 184 appearances for the La Liga outfit – including two strikes in the Champions League this season.
The 25 year-old’s contract expires at the end of the campaign and although he is open to signing a new deal with Valencia, there appears to be a bit of a dispute over wages, with the winger demanding around €2million per year.
Inevitably, a number of clubs have taken an interest in Feghouli over the last few months, the latest being Tottenham Hotspur. Fichajes claim the north Londoners are now set for talks with the Mestalla star’s agent, to ‘present a firm proposal and a sketch of what would become his contract’ at White Hart Lane.
However, the Lilywhites could soon find themselves overshadowed in the race to sign Feghouli by some of their Premier League rivals.
Scouts from Chelsea and Manchester United ran the rule over the wide man during a 3-0 win over Malaga last month and he was mooted as a Red Devils target once again earlier this week by The Daily Star.
The British tabloid rate the 5 foot 10 attacker at around £7million; but he will be legally allowed to discuss a free transfer in summer 2016 with non-Spanish clubs from the start of the January transfer window.
