Departing Soldado slams Valencia president ahead of Tottenham move

Roberto Soldado has hit out at Valencia president Amadeo Salvo for the way he runs the club.

Los Che's star striker is set to depart the Mestalla for a £26million move to Tottenham and delivered a parting shot before getting on a plane to London.

"I'm leaving Valencia because I do not believe in, nor do I trust their sporting project," he told reporters.

"Right from the first moment I spoke to the president, I had made my mind up to go. Salvo lied to me many times, and that hurt me and my agents, who are like family to me.

"The newspapers have published malicious untruths which were filtered to the press by him. I don't like the way he deals with things; I really hope he proves me wrong and starts a new successful era at the club."
