According to reports in Sunday's News of the World, Chelsea and Tottenham are to do battle for Valencia striker David Villa.The player is one of the most sought after strikers in Europe with dozens of clubs said to be interested in him but it is now thought that it will be between Chelsea and Spurs for the Spaniards signature.
Villa, 26, has always stated his desire to move to the Premier League in the future and it is thought that the Chelsea and Spurs bosses Avram Grant and Juande Ramos will each make bids of £25 million for the player's services.
The sooner Villa comes to the Premier League the better. He is an exceptional talent that in my view would be a terrific addition to either side in question. I do however feel Spurs may have the upper hand in the battle, with Juande Ramos at the helm.
