Tottenham to miss out? Top transfer target hints at Atletico Madrid move

The agent of Tottenham target Mauro Icardi has put some weight behind the rumour the striker will join Atletico Madrid in the summer.

The Inter Milan striker has been linked with a move away from Italy and Spurs appeared to be heading the queue for the 21-year-old's services.

However, mindful of the fact Atletico could be in the market for a striker if Chelsea get their wish and land Diego Costa at the end of the season, agent Ulisse Savini says he would suit Spanish football in the capital.

The youngster has been in impressive form for Inter this season, forcing fellow Argentine Diego Milito down the pecking order, and has netted eight goals in 18 Serie A appearances so far.

"Mauro is perfect for Spanish football. Atletico? He could go to Madrid, but I think he will stay with Inter," Savini said.

"The rumours linking him with Atletico are along the right lines, but they are not concrete."
