Tottenham ready bid for Marco Silvestri
SPURS are planning a surprise swoop for Chievo shot stopper Marco Silvestri in the summer.
The north London outfit allowed Carlo Cudicini and Heurelho Gomes to leave the club on loan in January, but have been alerted to Silvestri.
Andre Villas-Boas is resigned to losing veteran keeper Brad Friedel at the end of the season and is contemplating bringing in another keeper.
And Spurs could step up their interest at the end of the season.
Reports in Spain suggest Silvestri is seen as an understudy to Hugo Lloris
