Tottenham made a last-ditch attempt to re-sign Dimitar Berbatov on transfer deadline day, according to his agent.
Berbatov moved from Manchester United to Fulham for £5million on Friday but only after Sir Alex Ferguson hinted he could be bound for White Hart Lane.
Emil Danchev, the 31-year-old’s representative, has revealed there was interest from Spurs, who signed the Bulgaria striker from Bayer Leverkusen in 2006 before selling him to United for £19.9m profit two years later.
“We were in touch with Tottenham at the last moment,” Danchev said at a press conference with his client held in Sofia.
Having missed out on Berbatov, Spurs signed Clint Dempsey from Fulham for £6m.
