Tottenham seal Soldado deal
Tottenham have reached an agreement to sign Roberto Soldado from Valencia, subject to a medical, the club have confirmed.
The 28-year-old scored 30 goals in 46 La Liga appearances last season and will become Spurs' record signing, for a fee believed to be around £26m.
Soldado will also become Andre Villas-Boas' third summer signing, following the arrivals of Corinthians midfielder Paulinho and winger Nacer Chadli from FC Twente.
The Spain international began his career at Real Madrid but made only 16 first team appearances, and went to spend a season on loan at Osasuna, before being sold to Getafe in 2008.
In 2010, Soldado moved to Valencia and scored 80 goals in 146 appearances for the club.
