Tottenham are ready to sell Ricardo Rocha back to Benfica.

The Mail on Sunday says the 29-year-old joined Spurs for £3.3million in last season's January transfer window, but he has made just 16 starts.

And Benfica are reportedly prepared to make a £2.5m bid for Rocha when the transfer window reopens on January 1.

Rocha has been ruled out for at least three weeks after undergoing ankle surgery.
