Real Madrid fullback Fabio Coentrao is keen on a move to Tottenham.

The Portugal international has been linked with Jose Mourinho's Chelsea this summer.

Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas is a big fan of the left-back and is urging chairman Daniel Levy to pull out his chequebook again in order to sign him, says the Daily Star.

Gareth Bale is destined to leave Spurs for Madrid in a world-record deal but any possible deal for Coentrao will be conducted separately from negotiations for the Welshman.
