Spurs are not 'lurking' for Borja

TRANSFER TALK

Tottenham may be lurking for 23-year-old (24 in August) striker Borja González Tomás, known simply as Borja and sometimes nicknamed Basto, claim a forum based website. What utter garbage.

We were linked earlier in the year so therefore we 'may' be lurking, what even though we have bought a striker since then and told him he is number two to Harry Kane? We looked at him earlier in the window and made a tentative enquiry to ascertain his situation. We then decided he wasn't for us.

The fee Swansea City are reported to be paying is 15m euros, we bought Janssen for 20m euros plus 2m euros in add-ons. The Spaniard is an Under-20 international and scored 18 goals in 36 LaLiga games last season. Janssen is a full international and scored 27 goals in 34 Eredivisie games. Different leagues, different standards, but clearly we felt Jansen was the better buy for our club.

Borja is going to join Fernando Llorente at Swansea City and is an out-and-out centre-forward, not a second striker or number 10. The Atletico Madrid is expected in Swansea to complete the deal and then undergo a medical.
