The Spurs boss has been tracking Riera, along with Liverpool. The winger, 26, told The Mirror : "I would like it sorted within two weeks."

Meanwhile, Lyon have quashed reports linking goalkeeper Gregory Coupet with a move to White Hart Lane

In the market: Juande Ramos

The France international signed a contract extension last summer, keeping him to Les Gones until 2010, and recently won his seventh consecutive Ligue 1 title.

However, Lyon are in the hunt for Nice's Hugo Lloris and the 35-year-old could soon find himself surplus to requirements at the Stade Gerland for the first time in his 11-year career at the French giants.

"Lyon categorically deny having received any offer from Tottenham about the transfer of Gregory Coupet," read a brief statement on Lyon's official website.

"Moreover, the club would like to remind everyone of the general fact that no discussions relating to possible transfers will take place before the Coupe de France final at the Stade de France on Saturday in which the club as a whole have all their focus."
