Zebina all set for Spurs
Thursday 16 March, 2006
Jonathan Zebina will leave Italian champions Juventus for Tottenham in the summer, according to reports.
Spurs made an initial bid for the player in January but the move collapsed after boss Fabio Capello vetoed his exit.
However, the Frenchman will be allowed to leave at the end of the season seeing as his relationship with the Old Lady has broken down.
Unhappy at being one of the lowest paid players with the outfit, the former Roma stopper asked for a pay-rise.
That wasn’t met with great satisfaction by the Bianconeri hierarchy who rejected his request and will now cash in on the right-back – whom they got on a free transfer.
Spurs are still interested in the ex-Cagliari stopper despite his injury-plagued campaign at the Stadio Delle Alpi.
