Spurs target Martinez, Villa?

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Andre Villas-Boas has reportedly made adding two strikers to his squad his main priority this summer.

The Londoners spent the majority of last season with only Jermain Defoe and Emmanuel Adebayor as senior centre-forwards - which many pundits have identified as a reason why the team missed out on Champions League qualification.

That has prompted Villas-Boas into action and he has identified Porto's Jackson Martinez and Barcelona frontman David Villa as ideal additions, according to the London Evening Standard.

It is believed that talks with Barca over Villa are at advanced stage, with a £12m fee agreed, but Porto are thought to want around £33m for their Colombian international.

Should Spurs secure the services of both, the report added that Adebayor would be allowed to leave White Hart Lane.
