Tottenham manager Glenn Hoddles has still not given up on the hope of bringing Real Madrid striker Fernando Morientes to White Hart Lane. Morientes has twice turned down the opportunity to become a Spurs player, but Hoddle may swoop for the 26-year-old at the end of the season.
After failing in a summer bid to land to the Spainish international, Hoddle recently tried to sign Morientes on loan, however, the player insisted that he is only interested in a permanent move.
Agent Colin Gordon, who acted for Spurs in their failed attempt to sign Morientes said "There isn't an option to buy Morientes until the summer as Real need him for their season. They are second in the Primera Liga and still fighting in the Champions League. But there may be an opportunity for Tottenham in the summer."
The player's agent refused to rule out an end of season move to White Hart Land and said "Fernando will see how this season goes and then evaluate his position."
