Spurs boss Ramos has former United striker Forlan next on his agenda

Tottenham manager Juande Ramos is close to signing defender Vedran Corluka in a £7million deal from Manchester City and is also interested in bringing former Manchester United striker Diego Forlan to White Hart Lane.

The fee for the Croatian has already been agreed with City and is understood that is is just the personal terms which need to be ironed out now.

But Ramos is also in the market for a stirker and Atletico Madrid frontman Forlan is at the top of his list of potential targets.

White Hart Lane bound? Tottenham are keen on landing striker Diego Forlan.

The Uruguay international struggled after moving to Old Trafford from Independiente in 2002.

But the 29-year-old regained his scoring touch when he joined Villarreal in 2004 and then Atletico in July last year.

He scored 54 goals in 106 appearances for Villarreal and 16 in 36 for Atletico.
