Tottenham to make £20M offer for Atletico Madrid ace Forlan

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is ready to offer £20 million for Atletico Madrid striker Diego Forlan.

The Mirror says Redknapp is ready to spend £20m to bring Forlan to Tottenham.

The Spurs boss is desperate to add a top class striker to his squad to spearhead a Champions League campaign next season, and has persuaded chairman Daniel Levy to sanction a big money move this summer.

Forlan turned down a move to Spurs last summer but the Uruguayan is now thought be keen on a switch to White Hart Lane now the club can offer European football.

Despite winning the Europa League last term Atletico Madrid are struggling with their finances and may be tempted to sell Forlan so they can hang on to their prized asset Sergio Aguero.
