Tottenham seek to make profit on Giovani sale

Tottenham could make a profit on Giovani dos Santos in January.

The Mexican forward's stock has plummeted in the two years since his £5million move to White Hart from Barcelona, but Genoa, Fiorentina and Roma are still keen to add the 21-year-old to their ranks.

Dos Santos, who scored for his country in Tuesday's 2-2 draw with Venezuela, has struggled to adapt to life in London despite the presence of countryman Carlos Vela nearby. He has started just two Premier League games having left Spain on a high with a hat-trick in his final La Liga match.

Last season the forward spent time on loan at Ipswich and Galatasaray, and another loan move has been mooted. Tottenham, though, would rather cut all ties with the flop and are reportedly holding out for a £6m bid in January.
