Roberto Soldado 'wants summer Villarreal switch'

Roberto Soldado has reportedly signalled his intention to leave Tottenham Hotspur for Spanish side Villarreal.

The 30-year-old joined Spurs in 2013 from Valencia, but has struggled to rediscover his goal-scoring form at White Hart Line.

According to the Daily Mail, Villarreal's new coach Marcelino has convinced the Spanish international to move to El Madrigal, with the Yellow Submarines set to compete in the Europa League.

It is thought that Spurs may be willing to part with the player for as little as £10m, having paid £26m for him two seasons ago.

However, Sevilla and Benfica are also said to have shown an interest in the forward.

Soldado has scored 16 goals for the Lilywhites.
