According to Marca, Spurs yesterday missed out Real Zaragoza striker Sergio Garcia.
The Spaniard apparently rejected a better deal at Spurs in favour of joining Real Betis.
Betis are reportedly paying more than £8m for the 25-year old.
Garcia’s team-mate at Zaragoza, Diego Milito, had also been linked with moving to Tottenham, however the Argentine opted to re-join Genoa.
