Roma are eager to push Mirko Vucinic towards Tottenham.

Luciano Spalletti, the Roma coach, declared yesterday that he must sell to buy this summer.

And it is reported that Vucinic is the sacrificial lamb in this scenario, with Spurs boss Harry Redknapp ready to offer around £18m.

The Montenegro international is considered the most expendable, as he does not tend to deliver many goals and is more of a support striker than a centre-forward.
