accreditation

Tottenham Hotspur are on the brink of completing a move for Spain striker Roberto Soldado after agreeing a deal with Valencia for his transfer.

The striker has been heavily linked with a move to White Hart Lane this summer as Andre Villas-Boas looks to boost his attacking options - with Jermaine Defoe and Emmanuelle Adebayor having held most of the responsibility upfront.

The club has now revealed that they are set to complete their capture of the player, subject to the 28-year-old successfully completing a medical.

"We are delighted to announce that we have reached agreement with Valencia for the transfer of Roberto Soldado subject to medical," read a statement on the club's official website.

"The striker netted 80 times in 146 appearances during his time at the Mestalla who he joined from Getafe in 2010, after impressing with a tally of 29 goals in 60 league appearances.

"The 28-year-old began his career at Real Madrid where he scored 63 goals in 120 league appearances for the B side, Real Madrid Castilla, also featuring on 16 occasions for the First Team either side of a loan move to Osasuna in season 2006-7 when he scored 11 goals in 30 appearances.

"The Spain international now has 11 caps to his name and is the scorer of six goals for his country, with his most recent appearances coming in the Confederations Cup, staged in Brazil in June."
