Tottenham are ready to make a serious bid for Valencia striker David Villa.
Manager Juande Ramos has been using Spurs' training camp in Spain as a base from which to pursue targets in his homeland, and is hoping to lure Villa to White Hart Lane as a replacement for Dimitar Berbatov, who is expected to leave soon.
Villa has long been linked with a move away from the Mestalla Stadion after Valencia ran into financial difficulties, although the Spanish club were hoping to offload others in order to hold on to their star man.
