• Sevilla and Atlético Madrid keen on making signing
• End to miserable four-year spell for Mexico international
Tottenham Hotspur's forgotten midfielder Giovani dos Santos is expected to complete a return to La Liga this weekend, with Sevilla and Atlético Madrid both keen on signing the Mexico international.
The 23-year-old has been given permission to leave Mexico's Olympic training squad to secure a permanent transfer from White Hart Lane, his coach has revealed, bringing to an end a miserable four-year spell in north London.
Dos Santos joined Spurs from Barcelona in 2008 for €6m, with a further €5m payable after a set number of appearances. That payment was never threatened as the attacking midfielder made only two Premier League starts for Spurs, who will be clear to appoint André Villas-Boas as manager from 1 July, and had spells on loan at Racing Santander, Galatasaray and Ipswich Town.
Mexico's Olympic football coach, Luis Fernando Tena, revealed Dos Santos's departure from Tottenham is imminent, and Spain is a possible destination. Tena said: "He asked us if he could complete the transfer from Tottenham to another team. He has to go to sign papers, he has to go to get them sorted out.
"The most important thing is his mental state. We never had a doubt when he told us. We told him: 'Go. Do it.' He told us the name of the club. I can't say which club, but for us it is much better if he is relaxed, that he gets his contract sorted and that he comes back physically and mentally at his best level, content and knowing that he is going to play."
