Tottenham boss Juande Ramos is ready to make a £7 million move for Colombian striker Radamel Falcao.Spurs sent spies to watch the 22-year-old South American star score for his Argentinian club River Plate at the weekend and a fee has been discussed during the visit.
Falcao, nicknamed El Tigre, could be the ideal replacement for Robbie Keane and Ramos is poised to pounce - whether Andrei Arshavin's move goes through or not before the deadline.The fiery striker is a handful on the park but also a devout Christian away from the game. He is a charismatic player and could fill Keane's boots as a lively and skillful attacker.
I wouldn't be surprised if Falco did end up at Spurs. After losing Robbie Keane and inevitabley Dimitar Berbatov, Tottenham desperately need a new striker before the window closes at the end of the month.
