Tottenham are chasing Porto striker Radamel Falcao.

Portuguese sources say Spurs are ready to offer £16 million for the Chile international.

Spurs boss Harry Redknapp has made no secret of the fact he wants to bring one 'special' summer signing to White Hart Lane to boost their chances in next season's Champions League and Falcao is emerging as potentially that signing.

Porto are seeking player sales this summer to balance the books.
