Tottenham fans will always remember his header against Dortmund, his late hip winner away to Man City, and his last-minute flick-on against Ajax in Amsterdam.

The former World Cup Winner is said to be the target of AC Milan, Inter Milan, Athletic Bilbao, Roma, and Galatasaray this summer, after he is available on a free (A Bola).
