Tottenham in fresh assault on Pjanic

Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Tottenham are not giving up on Roma starlet Miralem Pjanic.

Spurs are set to embark on a real shopping spree once Gareth Bale’s move to Real Madrid is complete, with the Bosnian midfielder one of the first names on their wish list.

Andre Villas-Boas is a keen admirer of the 23-year-old and is prepared to pull all the stops to lure him to White Hart Lane.

Roma officials are keen to keep hold of their prized asset, but it is highly unlikely they would be able to resist a big money offer from North London.

Despite enjoying a tumultuous relationship with coach Zdenek Zeman at the start of his career in Italy, Pjanic eventually managed to establish himself as an important member of the side at Stadio Olimpico.

Since joining the club from Lyon two years back, the Bosnian amassed 57 Serie A appearances for the Giallorossi, scoring 6 goals.
