Premier League clubs hope to snap up Espanyol striker Raul Tamudo for a bargain £2.2m. The 31-year-old has been a regular in the Espanyol first-team for close to ten seasons but now it seems the Periquitos have decided to cash in according to Catalunya Radio.

Sunderland, Bolton, Portsmouth and top flight new boys Wolves and Birmingham have all been monitoring the front man's situation, with his cheap buy-out clause seemingly making him an attractive proposition.
