Serbia youngster Darko Lazovic has been tipped to join Tottenham after a trial at White Hart Lane last month.

The 18-year-old playmaker, who has made his senior international debut, is at FK Borac Cacak and is thought to be valued at around £500,000.

Borac coach Ljubisa Dmitrovic said: "As far as I know, he got the thumbs up in Tottenham and at the moment he is the one to decide what would be the best for him at this stage."

Lazovic added: "I will wait in order to decide what is best for me."

Meanwhile, Real Madrid forward Raul has revealed how he talked about the Premier League with Juande Ramos while his current boss was at White Hart Lane.

The 31-year-old Raul, the top scorer in Madrid's history, told Digital Plus: "Four months ago, Juande and I had a meal with Gines Carvajal, who is our agent and a friend of mine.

"They called me because I like English football and I wanted Juande to tell me about his experience of Tottenham and of the Premier League.

"He is a football man and speaking with him is a pleasure."

Jamie O'Hara and Ledley King are unlikely to feature in Spurs' Uefa Cup clash against Shakhtar Donetsk this week in Ukraine. Vedran Corluka, Robbie Keane and Roman Pavlyuchenko are cup-tied.
