Espanyol line up replacement for Man Utd, Spurs target Hector Moreno

Espanyol are preparing to sell Hector Moreno.

TMW says the Catalans have already identified a replacement for the Mexico international ahead of the January market.

Fiorentina's Egypt defender Ahmed Hagazi is on Espanyol's radar and a winter transfer window move could be on with the 23 year-old struggling for minutes.

Moreno, meanwhile, is expected to leave for England, where Tottenham and Manchester United are keen.

Recently asked about the interest of United, Moreno recalled his time with their manager Louis van Gaal when playing for AZ Alkmaar.

He also is close to Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino, who signed him for Espanyol.

"I appreciate him very much, it was he who decided to bring me here."
