Spurs Transfers: 5 Players To Replace Gareth Bale

4. Arjen Robben

Perhaps a more "high profile" option is Bayern Munich's Arjen Robben. The Dutch international faces an uncertain future at the Allianz Arena off the back of the Bundesliga giant's unparalleled treble-triumph with news that the forward could make way for Liverpool's Luis Suarez as incoming manager Pep Guardiola plots his revolution of the German side. Also capable of playing on the flanks as a right-sided winger, Robben would provide Villas-Boas with similarly ample attacking options as the procurement of Remy would, though the Dutchman has much more experience in playing in the big games. The former Chelsea and Real Madrid star was a target for Spurs last year, while Manchester United and Arsenal both maintain long-term interest. At 29, his age may be a concern but at £10 million, he too represents a bargain for Villas-Boas.
