Sneijder agent dismisses Spurs talk

Andre Villas-Boas' interest in one of Europe's more gifted midfield players appears to be cooling as his agent has dampened the rumours of a move.

The hole that Luka Modric left vacant in the Spurs midfield when he left to join Real Madrid in the summer was thought to be Joao Moutinho-shaped, but when the deal never materialised the gaffer was forced to fill it with the likes of Clint Dempsey and Moussa Dembele in a double deal from Fulham, and although they are both players who possess bucket-loads of talent, there was a name that kept rearing its head every time Spurs were mentioned in any sort of transfer activity.

That head was a bald one. Wesley Sneijder's contract dispute seems to have been going on forever and he has not featured for Inter since September, much to the delight of the lurking opportunists from the rest of Europe's elite.

Unfortunately for fans of the White Hart Lane outfit there seems to be nothing in the rumours about the Holland international joining your club, as his agent claims there is no truth regarding the two clubs making contact.

Whoever signs Wesley Sneijder will be getting one hell of a player, not only does he offer you mountains of creativity and an array of flair, but his missus isn't bad either!
