Not ITK so can't post in the daily thread, but I read earlier that apparently Defour's agent has stated that we have made contact regarding a potential transfer. Can't dig out any sources at the moment as I'm on the phone, perhaps someone can oblige.

Anyway, thoughts?

edit: Back home now so here is the article where it has stemmed from http://www.abola.pt/nnh/ver.aspx?id=340509

Rough translation from Google is...

The interest of 'spurs' in Steven Defour seems to be effective. Paul Stefani, the player's agent, confirmed that even in statements to Dutch portal Voetbalprimeur

When confronted with the news that accounts for the dispute between Arsenal and Tottenham for the services of the Belgian Stefani reiterated that "no interest" by the new club André Villas Boas.

The agent of FC Porto player who signed last season recalled that the Portuguese coach 'follows the player from the time of Standard Liege. "

The British press insists that the 'average' dragons' is chosen by the Villas Boas to replace Modric, the Croatian case moves to Real Madrid in the close season.

So the "Spurs are in for (fill in the blank with a Porto player)" is starting, huh?

I think it's spelled Steven Defour. The guy Porto replaced Moutinho with as playmaker that Man Utd were supposedly after. Plausible I suppose if Modric leaves and Moutinho is too expensive. Would fit AVBs system I guess. Little guy, good passer from what I recall of seeing him play.
