Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini has encouraged Tottenham to make concrete their interest in Simon Kjaer and Edinson Cavani. Sicilian sources say Spurs boss Harry Redknapp is planning a double raid on Palermo for defender Kjaer and striker Cavani.

"Tottenham are supposedly interested in making a €35 million (£28m) offer for both players," Zamparini told TMW. "If the side are actually able to make such an offer as this, I will let the two players leave.

"On Cavani, I can confirm that he is interested in joining Inter, but Moratti has never asked me for the player."
