SPURS attempts to sign former Manchester United striker Diego Forlan appear dead in the water.

The agent of the Atletico Madrid frontman claims his client is happy in the Spanish capital, to quash any speculation linking him as a possible replacement for Dimitar Berbatov.

“Forlan is very happy at Atletico,” agent Daniel Bolotnicoff told El Mundo.

“I don’t know anything about Tottenham’s supposed interest and him leaving would be very difficult.”
