Tamudo eyeing English football

RCD Espanyol Captain Raul Tamudo’s agent has confirmed that he is currently negotiating a move to the Premier League.

However, Tomas Duran did not reveal the identity of interested clubs, but it is thought that Wigan, Hull City and Blackburn Rovers are chasing the Espanyol player.

A move to the JJB Stadium is also not ruled out with the new Latics boss Roberto Martinez having signed Tamudo’s team mates, Jordi Gomez.

But the 31-year-old’s agent insists that a deal has not yet been completed and his client would only leave Espanyol, who he has been with since 1996, if the money was right.

“It is true there is interest but I cannot say any names. There still isn’t a done deal but negotiations are in progress,” Duran said in the Catalan press.

“Raul will only move if given a big proposition.”

Tamudo has one year left on his current contract at the Barcelona-based club and will not be available for under 2million euros.
