Tottenham have been linked to Hector Herrera.
The agent of Mexican midfielder Hector Herrera has hit out at current club Porto.
Herrera has recently been linked with a switch to Tottenham Hotspur, with talkSPORT reporting the North London side are considering a January move.
The Porto captain’s contract is set to expire at the end of the season.
Portuguese publication CM Jornal reported last month that Herrera has rejected three contract offers.
Herrera’s agent’s latest comments make it unlikely that a resolution will be found.
Quoted this week by Tuttomercatoweb, Herrera’s agent denied a claim from Porto’s president Jorge Pinto da Costa that the midfielder had asked for a salary worth six million Euros.
He said: “This is the most important contract of his life, everyone knows that Hector is a great professional, who never created problems and who has always worked hard, even in difficult moments.”
“At the end of last season I spoke with Porto and I asked for a European-level salary, many now thinking about the six million declared by the president, but his statements were gross.”
Herrera has been at Porto since 2013 and appears set to push for a new challenge.
He continues to feature in their first team, making 11 appearances this season.
Central midfield is one the positions Tottenham need to strengthen, and if they could get Herrera on a free next summer, it would be a shrewd move.
