Valencia Soldado ruled out transfer speculation

Valencia striker Roberto Soldado dismissed the transfer speculation linking him with a move away from Mestalla.

The recent reports suggested the 28-year-old Spaniard could be interested in a switch to Tottenham, after Valencia narrowly missed out on Champions League this season. The Spurs were rumoured to be ready to offer around £20 million for Soldado as they continue their search for a quality striker.

However former Real Madrid man denied any rumours, insisting he remains committed to fulfilling his duties at Valencia. He said: “It is clear for me that I want to stay here and help Valencia return to the Champions League, where we deserve to be. That is despite the fact that we have not achieved our aim of doing that this season.”
