Holtby to leave Tottenham on loan as AVB bids to complete move for Ajax's Eriksen



Lewis Holtby will be allowed to leave Tottenham on loan following the imminent arrival of Christian Eriksen from Ajax.

Holtby, 22, has been unable to force his way in as a regular starter at Spurs following his move from Schalke last January.

The Germany midfielder made 17 appearances last season but has yet to play under Andre Villas-Boas in the club's opening three games in this campaign.

Surplus to requirements: Lewis Holtby will be allowed to leave Tottenham on loan

NOT SO HOT SPUR

Lewis Holtby has played 17 times for Tottenham since moving from Schalke in January, but has yet to score. In fact, his only real contributions have been two bookings.

Spurs will also listen to offers for Gylfi Sigurdsson before Monday's transfer deadline.

Sigurdsson started on the opening weekend of the season in a 1-0 win at Crystal Palace and came on as substitute in the win over Swansea on Sunday at White Hart Lane.

He was signed from Hoffenheim last summer but has made more substitute appearances than starts since his £7m move.

Tottenham are targeting a £8million move for Real Betis forwardAlvaro Vadillo - who is dubbed the next Cristiano Ronaldo.

The 18-year-old, who has caps for Spain Under 20s, is viewed as one of the brightest prospects in La Liga, but his club will only receive around half that fee as they are currently in administration.

His displays have earned comparisons with former Manchester United forward Ronaldo.
