Tottenham are chasing Sevilla winger Diego Capel.

Sevilla are aware of Spurs' interest, says Estadio Deportivo, and want to open new contract talks with the dynamic midfielder.

Capel's all-action style has Premiership scouts convinced he will settle quickly in England and Spurs boss Harry Redknapp is ready to move for the youngster in January.

Sevilla are desperate not to lose Capel and are trying to negotiate new terms with his minders, which would include a hike-up in his buyout clause.
