Tottenham in talks over Lassana Diarra
TOTTENHAM are still in talks with Real Madrid over signing defensive midfielder Lassana Diarra, but are believed to be still some £4-5million apart in their valuations.
Real Madrid want about £19m and Tottenham could receive an £8m cash injection of their own with the planned departure of Wilson Palacios to Stoke, which would then help them cement the like-for-like purchase of Diarra.
