Motta rejected Spurs, West Ham

Barcelona midfielder Thiago Motta has turned down offers from Tottenham and West Ham United this summer.

With less than a year left on his contract, the Brazilian wants to be granted a free transfer and is keen to move to Italy.

West Ham, Spurs and Real Zaragoza are all willing to pay a fee for Motta, but the midfielder is prepared to wait until the January market to force Barca to release him so he can move to Serie A.
