The Argentine has been linked with a move to White Hart Lane.

Now as in Spain is reporting that Gaitan is keen on the move. They claim he wants to move to the Premier League and join a title chaser, which he sees in Spurs.

Gaitan only joined Atleti from Benfica in the summer for a fee reported by the Daily Mail to be in the region of £19.75 million but has struggled to feature regularly for Diego Simeone’s men.

The Argentine has been linked with a move to the Premier League for a number of years, so many will take this news with a pinch of salt.

Buy Spurs have growing fears over the injury problem facing Gaitan’s countryman Erik Lamela and the 28-year-old could be a perfect replacement for the Spurs attacker – who is currently at former club Roma in a bid to get fit again.
