Spurs lead Arsenal in the race to sign £8.5 million Spaniard

It has been rumoured today that Tottenham are winning the race to sign Sevilla winger Diego Capel who is also wanted by north London rivals Arsenal.

Capel has been linked with a move to the Premier League for some time now with both Spurs and Arsenal holding a keen interest in the 19-year old.

"I can say that he still has three years left on his contract at Sevilla and that there is a clause set at £8.5million,” agent Rene Ramos told calciomercato.com.

Spurs boss Juande Ramos has worked with Capel during his time as manager at Sevilla and it is thought that Ramos will make a move once the window opens in the summer. I have seen Capel a few times now and must say he looks something special and I am hoping he moves to England in the summer.
