Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas is set to continue his spending spree in January when he bids for Milan hotshot Stephan El Shaarawy, according to the Daily Mirror.
El Shaarawy has been in and out of the Milan side recently and is reportedly an understudy to Mario Balotelli, leaving the Italian international in a dilemma with this being a crucial World Cup year.
The 20 year old playmaker would be a strange signing by Spurs who have numerous options in his position already, but that didn’t stop Villas-Boas in the summer from adding players to his squad who would not be playing most weeks.
Spurs made a lot of their money back from their summer signings, mainly thanks to Gareth Bale, but the wage bill has certainly increased in recent months leaving the club with little option but to sell big earners such as Jermain Defoe and Emmanuel Adebayor in January thus freeing up funds for new signings.
