10 days ago, I told you that Luka Modric was likely to be just the first of many transfer acqusitions in a busy early summer for Spurs.

Well, the rumour machine is hitting top speed yet again, as Spurs Odyssey understands that our representatives are en route to Portugal seeking a defenisve midfielder, also rated by no less than Sir Alex Ferguson.

Whilst no names have been mentioned, some people are putting two and two together and whether or not it will add up correctly, we will wait and see, but Sporting's 21 year old defending star Miguel Luis Pinto Veloso could be the target. Veloso can play in the centre of defence or midfield. he has been a regular in the Sporting side for over a season now, and has 27 league appearances to his name this term, along with 5 full International caps for Portugal.

It may all be pie in the sky, but one way or another high profile names such as Eto'o and David Villa are being linked with Spurs, Junde Ramos and his staff seem to be aiming high for next season!
