Schalke 04 club officials will reportedly fly to England this week to hold further talks with Tottenham Hotspur regarding a potential move for Rafael van der Vaart.
The Bundesliga outfit are said to be willing to pay £8m for the Dutch playmaker, while Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is believed to value the player at £12m.
Van der Vaart has informed backroom staff at White Hart Lane that he is desperate to move back to Germany, according to The Metro.
Meanwhile, Schalke head coach Huub Stevens has openly expressed his interest in the 29-year-old's services.
