Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas hopes to move on Luka Modric and get in a striker signing in the coming days.
Villas-Boas would like the situation resolved as soon as possible so he can use the funds to buy a replacement for Modric and bulk up a squad that currently has only one recognised striker in Jermain Defoe.
"Obviously we have outlined a couple of solutions (for a Modric replacement)," Villas-Boas said.
"We have made initial contact with a couple of clubs but I think before this situation is resolved we can't do anything because we already have a certain amount of players in that position."
