Spurs in for Leao Matteo Moretto is reporting that the chances of Villa signing the winger are slim because of the costs involved. They did enquire to understand the margins of a potential pursuit, but appear to have quickly turned elsewhere. However, a new suitor has emerged for Leao, as per MilanNews. Jorge Mendes is still working to find a place for the former Lille star and Spurs are the ones that have been considering a swoop in the last few hours.
