SPURS WANT CUT-PRICE ALENA DEAL

Tottenham are hoping to sign highly-rated Barcelona midfielder Carles Alena for just €3million (£2.6m) before the end of June, according to  AS.
Alena has yet to agree a new contract with Barca and has a year remaining on his current deal. His release clause will rise from €3m to €12m (£10.5m) on July 1 and Spurs are trying to push through a deal before then.
