Tottenham face will go head-to-head with Juventus in the battle for Villarreal striker Giuseppe Rossi. Rossi is one of the most wanted strikers in Europe after an impressive season in La Liga. He has been a long-term target for Spurs, but his agent refused to rule out a move to Juve. Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has been on the hunt for a star striker for at least two transfer windows and is determined to land a player who can fire the club back into the Champions League next season. Redknapp is happy for Robbie Keane to leave White Hart Lane, Roman Pavlyuchenko's future is uncertain, and the club will listen to offers for both Peter Crouch and Jermain Defoe. That could leave them short of strikers ahead of the new campaign. Rossi is a prime target, but Juventus are also keen. A move to his adopted homeland could also boost Rossi's national team credentials. His agent Federico Pastorello said: "Juventus are a top club for their history, for the people who run it and for their future ambitions. "It's clear that their present penalises them seeing as they won't be playing in Europe next season. But their appeal remains intact. Let's say they are like a beautiful woman who just needs to go to the hairdresser. "It's a possible avenue and the directors are keeping themselves informed. We are talking about an Italian player who reminds people a little of Alessandro Del Piero. "The important thing for Rossi is to go to a top club that would welcome him. If it's not a top club then he'll stay at Villarreal. "Giuseppe wants to evaluate everything carefully, he knows that a decision on where he plays next year is a fundamental one for his career."

Juventus haven't been a top Italian side for some years now, it's entirely possible that we could still beat them to it. They've been threatening to spend big for awhile and they have yet to come good. The only reason we wouldn't stand a chance is if Levy doesn't match the asking price or Juventus swamp our wage offer.
What happened to Aguero to Juve, sounded as if that one was as good as done.... And how on earth did fergie let this fella slip!?
