Spurs in for new Maradona

Just for your amusement - a 6 feet 4 Maradona

Tottenham are amongst a host of clubs interesting in signing the brightest talent to come out of South America since Diego Maradona.

18 year old Argentine Franco Di Santo is set to arrive in the UK this week with a view to deciding which of the club's seeking to obtain his services he will join.

The 6ft 4in striker currently plays for Audax Italiano in Chile and has been described as the new Maradona.

According to reports over the weekend, Di Santo will meet with Spurs representatives this week but Tottenham are certainly not alone in their interest in the youngster who is also set for talks with Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, Middlesbrough, Portsmouth, Blackburn and Manchester City.

Not a chance of us getting him - a dozen other clubs will outbid us on wages and we already have four top strikers now. I'd be surprised if he doesn't end up in Spain anyway where language isn't an issue.

How can you have a 6.4" Maradona ???

Argentina's very own Crouch.
