Spurs Transfers: Predicting Andre Villas-Boas' 5 August Signings

4. Diego Capel

Diego Capel As well as replacing BenoƮt Assou-Ekotto this summer, Spurs are going to have to face the possibility that they may also need to replace Gareth Bale. With the Welsh wideman continuing to be linked with a move to Real Madrid this summer, Tottenham are going to have to look for reinforcement on the flanks and could renew their interest in Diego Capel. The Sporting Lisbon winger was first linked with a move to the Lilywhites back in March after it was revealed the Portuguese club were prepared to sell the 25-year-old in order to raise funds. Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is a big fan of the Spain international and twice tried to bring the midfielder to the Lane during the Juande Ramos era. And the Londoner's could be about to rekindle their interest in their former target if, as expected, they do end up losing Bale this summer.
