Spurs Transfer News: Pablo Osvaldo Fuels Tottenham Talk

by Joseph Dempsey

Talk Sport. The 27-year old's current club, Roma, took on Lazio in a crunch derby on Monday night but Osvaldo, who did not play, instead flew to London with his girlfriend rather than attending the match at the Stadio Olimpico. Osvaldo's future at Roma has been in doubt for some time now and the Argentine-born player has cut an increasingly isolated figure of late, having not played for Aurelio Andreazzoli's side in over a month. He last featured in the side's 3-1 win against Genoa in March and looks certain for a summer move. Spurs meanwhile have been tracking the forward ever since his move to Italy from Espanyol in 2011, and manager Andre Villas-Boas is in desperate need of strengthening his forward line in the summer having seen Jermain Defoe and Emmanuel Adebayor suffer with injuries this term. Reports that Osvaldo has been spotted in London recently will only serve to fuel the speculation surrounding his next move, however, he is also wanted by Juventus and Fiorentina who are aiming to keep the £12 million-rated striker in Italy.
