Big-spending Spurs are set to land another striker this week – after splashing £107million in the transfer window, writes Alan Nixon of the Sunday People.

Romanian hitman Ciprian Marica is set to snub Arsenal and West Ham advances to join Andre Villas-Boas’s new-look Tottenham side.

Marica, capped 60 times by Romania, is looking for a £60,000-a-week three-year deal at White Hart Lane.

After blowing the £86m Gareth Bale cash on stars like Brazilian Paulinho and Spain’s Roberto Soldado, Villas-Boas can net the 28-year-old for free because Marica had his contract with German outfit Schalke terminated a year early at the end of last season.

His club CV is impressive, playing for Shakhtar Donetsk and Stuttgart in a wandering career around Europe over the past decade.

Spurs boss Villas-Boas, who takes his club to Cardiff today, wants to move flop Emmanuel Adebayor and young Harry Kane out of north London, freeing up a slot for Marica.

If the deal cannot be done, Villas-Boas will be under pressure from Daniel Levy to bring £100,000-a-week outcast Adebayor in from the cold.

The £9.3m striker has been banished to training with the kids at White Hart Lane.

Marica, who has previously captained Romania, has netted 22 goals for his country.
