Tottenham coach Mauricio Pochettino has confirmed striker Roberto Soldado is edging closer to a move back to La Liga.
Roberto Soldado is nearing his departure from Tottenham and a return to Spain, according to coach Mauricio Pochettino.
Photos emerged Thursday on Twitter of Soldado at Gatwick Airport, reportedly telling fans he was flying out to agree to terms with Villarreal.
Soldado's teammate Erik Lamela then took to Twitter to say farewell, before swiftly deleting the posts.
And in a news conference Thursday, Pochettino said no deal had yet been finalized but confirmed the striker had been allowed to go and further his negotiations.
