Capel signing is 70% probable

June 25, 2008

The Sun’s respected sports writer, Shaun Custis, today told us that the chance of Tottenham Hotspur signing Sevilla left winger, Diego Capel, is 70% probable.

He has said that Tottenham have had an offer from Sevilla accepted.  In the event of Sevilla accepting a bid from Spurs, and not the Spanish F.A. this would mean that the bid made by Tottenham would be significantly lower than the €12 million contract exit clause that currently exists.

When we asked Custis what the fee was, he simply shrugged his shoulders.  He did tell us that Diego Capel spoke about a move to Tottenham yesterday.

“I’ve heard of the interest and am flattered Juande [Ramos] is impressed with me enough to look at me.  Playing in the Premier League is a dream for me”

We’ll update this story when we have more news on the subject.
