Valencia's boss Djukic finally admits that Roberto Soldado could leave the club for White Hart Lane!...

The 28-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to White Hart Lane this summer, but the club have held their ground over the €30m transfer fee they have placed on the striker

Valencia manager Miroslav Djukic has admitted that star striker and Tottenham target Roberto Soldado could leave the club this summer.

Soldado has been the subject of much speculation this summer, leading club president Amadeo Salvo to state that the 28-year-old could leave the Mestalla for €30 million (£25.9m).

It can be recalled that it was revealed on Thursday that the Spanish international is considering handing in a transfer request to force a move to Spurs, while Andre Villas-Boas described his admiration for the forward earlier in the week.

"The possibility that he will leave is real," Djukic is quoted as saying by Super Deporte.

"Soldado is our striker and if he stays then he will be the reference point up front."

Even if Soldado leaves, Djukic revealed that the Liga club are already looking to bolster a thin forward line.

He added: "Valencia are working on various options in case Soldado does leave, but we have too (few) forwards, either with Soldado or especially without him.

"We have to remember though that Valencia the club is greater than any player."
