Tottenham are on the verge of selling striker Roberto Soldado to Villarreal for £11million.

The Mirror is reporting Villarreal have commenced negotiations for the 30-year-old, who has also been the subject of interest from Sevilla and Benfica.

It is understood Villarreal's preference was to bring Soldado back to Spain on a loan, but Tottenham are eager to work out a more permanent arrangement.

Soldado joined Spurs two seasons ago for £26million, but struggled during his time at White Hart Lane, scoring just seven Premier League goals.
