Atletico Madrid midfielder Martin Petrov is reportedly close to a move to Tottenham.

Reports emanating from Spain claim Atletico have accepted an offer of nearly Ђ9million (Ј6million) for the Bulgarian international.

Petrov, who had played down talk of the move earlier in the summer, is now understood to be in London to discuss a deal.

It had previously been suggested that the 28-year-old was collecting interest from Manchester City manager Sven Goran Eriksson.

However, it is thought that Petrov would favour a move to Tottenham because of the attraction of playing Uefa Cup football next season.

The transfer would also allow Petrov, who missed most of last season with a knee injury, to link up with his Bulgaria team-mate Dimitar Berbatov.

well spurs just fixed their left side of the midfield. god i'm starting to really love spurs.
