Totttenham target open to Premier League transfer
Tottenham Hotspur target Adrien Silva has said he would be open to a move to the Premier League.
The Sporting Lisbon midfielder has been linked with Spurs this window with the Portuguese club hoping for around £30million for the 28-year-old.
Portuguese paper Record has stated that Sporting are willing to let their captain depart for less than his €45million release clause after making some key signings already.
Last month reports claimed Spurs had seen a €20million offer rejected by Sporting Lisbon president Bruno de Carvalho.
Silva has been in Russia for the Confederations Cup, but he has told A Bola he is open to a move to the Premier League.
“I was not in touch with anyone during the Confederations Cup. I preferred to focus completely on this event and finish it in the best way,” said Silva, who scored in the 2-1 Confederations Cup third-place play-off win against Mexico.
“The best players are there [in the Premier League], and the English championship is recognised by all as one of the best.
“Let’s just let things run. I have a contract with Sporting, but nothing is certain.”
