BBC are reporting that Spurs are close to agreeing a 10.7 million deal for this guy. For those that don't know him he is a Bulgarian international, 2nd top scorer in Germany the Bundesliga this season with 20 goals.
Personally I really rate this guy. Good with his back to goal, not blistering pace but certainly quick enough and a good finisher. I believe he'd be the right sort of player to play off Crouch and would fit into our system well. I'd hate for him to go to Spurs and while we haven't officially been linked with him, surely Benitez must be watching developments here.
In my opinion this guy's better than Kuyt, Defoe and pretty much any other striker we've been realistically linked with.
