Giovani could be Spain-bound

Giovani Dos Santos' nightmare spell at Tottenham could be coming to an end after Villarreal and Granada both claimed they are in negotiations with the Mexican over a move to Spain.

Dos Santos was hailed as one of the brightest prospects in world football when he signed from Barcelona four years ago, but struggled to make an impact and has had subsequent loan spells at Ipswich, Galatasaray and Racing Santander.

But Villarreal's vice-president has now told elperiodico mediterraneo: "The negotiations are going well and it seems the player wants to come to Villarreal."
