Barcelona's David Villa to sign for Tottenham Hotspur next week?

Barcelona striker David Villa will reportedly choose to sign for Tottenham Hotspur over Fiorentina next week.

The Spaniard has been a target for both Spurs and La Viola this summer but the 31-year-old will sign for the North London outfit, according to The Mirror.

Barcelona are looking for £12m for the former Valencia forward, whom Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas sees as an ideal signing as he looks to alter the team's formation to a 4-3-3 system next season.

Villa is currently with the Spanish national side as they take on Brazil this evening in the Confederations Cup final.

Meanwhile, Villas-Boas has said that he intends to quit football management within the next decade to take up a lifetime ambition of competing in the Dakar Rally.
