Ronaldo Signs for Spurs
By Matthew Jones

Newcastle United target, Cristiano Ronaldo looks like he has joined Spurs according to Tottenham fans.

A Spurs Fan Reported:

Some very creditable resources in Portugal are reporting that Tottenham Have secured a one year loan deal for Sporting Lisbon's brilliant 18 year old Cristiano ronaldo. He currently is contracted to Sporting untill the summer of 2005 and since breaking into the first team team has attracted interest from AC Milan and Roma. He's widely regarded as portugal's best under 21 player and sporting have decided that giving him a year in one of the top leagues in europe for a team were he's likely to play regulary will increase his value. Spurs will have first refusal on the player at he end of the loan year, with a price to be agreed in advance thought to be in the region of 10 million euro's. However Sporting will reserve the right to keep the player regardless of any incoming bids if they decide not to sell.

There are mixed beliefs as to the truth of this circulating around Spurs forums. We will just have to wait and see!
