Spurs chasing Espanyol striker Pablo Osvaldo

Tottenham are among four clubs chasing Espanyol striker Pablo Osvaldo.

The 25-year-old Italian-Argentine scored an impressive 13 goals in 24 appearances last season, his first full run for the La Liga side.

Inter, Juventus and Atletico Madrid are also interested in signing Osvaldo, who has a price tag of around £17 million. Fulham have already had a £10.5 million offer turned down.

"It's true Inter and Juventus like him and I can confirm there was contact between my client and these two clubs," Osvaldo's agent told an Italian sports website.

"My client would like to return to Italy, and both Inter and Juventus are two great clubs. But, aside from the Italians, Atletico Madrid and Tottenham also like him, but it is early to speak about a transfer as he is on holiday."
