Spurs target Moreno ponders rival offer from Shakhtar Donetsk

Bolivian forward Marcelo Moreno is deciding whether to move to Tottenham
Hotspur or Shakhtar Donetsk, according to the player's father.

The Cruzeiro striker's performances in the Copa Libertadores, where he has
scored eight goals, apparently piqued the interest of Roma, Shakhtar and
Tottenham.

Ship shape: Spaniard Juande Ramos (L) the coach of English Premier league side Tottenham Hotspur and Javier Banderas, brother of the Spanish actor Antonio Banderas (R), are pictured on board the TAU sailing boat before the start of the 4th race of Throphy of Alicante, first event of the 2008 Audi Med Cup Circuit


Reports in the Bolivian press suggest that, with an initial bid from Spurs
turned down, Moreno was in Donetsk pondering a move to Shakhtar - but a second
offer from the London club has complicated matters.

The player's father, Mauro Martins, told facetasdeportivastv.com: "The first
offer from Tottenham was declined by the Cruzeiro board because they wanted all
the money in one go.

"Marcelo really liked Donetsk, but we are waiting as this new deal also seems
important.

"There is a chance to go to Tottenham, but only if they pay the whole fee at
once."
