Paco Casal, who represents Porto’s left-wing sensation, Cristian Rodríguez, has stated that numerous clubs are interested in the Uruguayan footballer, and has said that Tottenham have shown “a very big interest in Cristian”.

Rodríguez only moved to Porto in July but seems to have fallen out with his manager, Manuel Jesualdo Ferreira.

Cristian Rodríguez is an extremely quick left-winger and possesses a lot of strength when going forward. He is predominantly left footed and does prefer to play on the left-wing, although he has been used as a wing-back and has played just behind the striker. Being 23, he has yet to reach his peak.

With Harry Redknapp on the lookout for a left-winger, Cristian Rodríguez looks like the type of player Spurs fans would love to watch down at The Lane. With reports on Stewart Downing failing to cool down, Redknapp may be forced to look at other options, especially after Middlesbrough slapped a £15 million asking price on the youngsters head. To see why Downing isn’t worth £15 million, please view the THBN article; Stewart Downing is no £15 million player.

As regards Rodríguez, no price was quoted unfortunately, but he is rated in the £10 million bracket. That would be a coup for Porto, who got him on a free from Paris Saint-Germain, after he had a loan spell at Benfica.

Guillem Balague has stated that Real Madrid boss, Juande Ramos, has handed a list of players that he wants to his Director of Football, Predrag Mijatović. The list has two Premier League players on it; Jermaine Jenas, and Jermaine Pennant.

Well, after all, Jermaine Jenas was one of the only players to have not spoken out against Ramos. He was also made captain in the absence of King, but lost his vice-captaincy to Woodgate upon Redknapp taking over.

It looks like there’s more to this rumour than meets the eye as Real Madrid have suggested that Jenas could be signed within this winter transfer window to play alongside Lassana Diarra, Real’s latest acquisition from Portsmouth.

The fee is anyone’s guess. If Downing is rated at £15 million, then Jenas should be to.
