Spain star Villa set to snub Spurs as he admits Liverpool and Chelsea appeal
Tottenham appear to have little hope of signing David Villa from Valencia after the Spain striker referred to Premier League rivals Liverpool and Chelsea as potentially attractive destinations.
It has been reported that they have agreed a £20m fee with the financially-troubled Spanish club, but Valencia are asking for over £31m and the striker himself would prefer a move to Real Madrid or Barcelona.

Euro 2008 top-scorer Villa, whose Spain side edged past Italy and into the semi-finals on penalties against Italy in Vienna last night, is quoted as saying: "Liverpool and Chelsea are both big clubs with lots of attraction.
"Liverpool have a Spanish coach and I have lots of friends there. But it's not something I'm thinking about. My focus now is on making sure Spain do well.
"This is not the time to be thinking about my personal future."
