Nenê Seeks His Spurs

fount : goal.com



Season 2007/08 may have been blighted with mediocrity for Monaco but it did have its chinks of light. One of these relatively few sparks was provided by flair-packed Brazilian winger Nenê, who only joined on at Monaco deep into August.

Unsurprisingly, the exciting winger has started to be touted as a potential transfer target for light-heavyweight European clubs. Roma have been most closely linked with the 27 year-old to date, although Olympiakos have also been reported to have taken an interest.

Reports from Football365 suggest that Tottenham Hotspur are the latest side to closely follow the player. Clearly, Nenê’s performances in Spain while with Mallorca, Alavés and Celta Vigo have convinced Tottemham boss Juande Ramos, who, of course, has vast experience of the Spanish league, that the Brazilian is worth a closer look.

Monaco’s other main attacking midfielder threat Jérémy Menez has also been linked with a move away from the principality. It is wholly implausible that both of Monaco’s main attacking outlets in midfield will move on. Only if an agreement cannot be reached with Menez’s suitors would Nenê be free move on before the closure of the transfer window.
