Juventus chief Moggi: Villa, Spurs in for Miccoli
Juventus director general Luciano Moggi has revealed Tottenham have joined Aston Villa in their interest for Fabrizio Miccoli.
Moggi confirmed last week that Aston Villa had made an offer for Miccoli, who is keen to leave Juve after upsetting fans with disparaging comments while on-loan at Fiorentina last season.
Last night, Moggi said: "There are two or three teams involved in the Champions League, plus teams like Tottenham and Benfica that want to sign him.
"If we can find a solution to the satisfaction of all parties he will leave. Otherwise we will have to wait until January."

Novellino in Del Piero call Wednesday 24 August, 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sampdoria boss Walter Novellino has invited Juventus enigma Alessandro Del Piero to join him in Genoa.
The Bianconeri captain is seemingly no longer assured of a first team shirt at Juve, leading to stories of a possible departure.
Milan Coach Carlo Ancelotti stated at the weekend that he wouldn’t turn down the chance to sign him and Novellino shares the same view.
"They can give him to me," the tactician told the Turin-based Tuttosport newspaper on Wednesday.
"If Juventus want to be free of him, even if I think that is unlikely, then I would be delighted to have him in my side."
Novellino, one of Italy’s most promising tacticians, rates Del Piero’s current club highly and insists they will retain Lo Scudetto.
"They are even stronger than last season," he added. "Patrick Vieira is their best buy, while Emerson is a frightening leader. Zlatan Ibrahimovic? He is worthy of the Golden Ball.
"Milan are more spectacular than Juventus but they are less concrete at times."
Sampdoria finished fifth last term and Novellino is optimistic they can enjoy a similarly successful campaign this time around.
"The battle for fourth will be tough," he stated. "I respect all of our opponents but I would bet on Samp."

I think Sampdoria would be a wonderful option for Del Piero. Novellino is a great manager and Samp is one of the better clubs in Italy with a pretty decent history. Moving to Genoa would make much more sense for Alex instead of falling in the ranks over at Milan, a place where he would not get much playing time either. And not to mention Samp could really use a player such as Del Piero, in marketing and football aspects alike.
