Juande Ramos wants Dimitar Berbatov's future settled - so he can move for Diego Forlan and Roque Santa Cruz

Spurs boss Juande Ramos wants the Dimitar Berbatov saga to end this week - so he can buy Diego Forlan and Roque Santa Cruz.

Ramos has decided Berbatov's imminent exit will clear the air at White Hart Lane and allow him to bring in the strikers he needs.

The Spaniard has been tracking former Manchester United frontman Forlan for the past month and is ready to offer Atletico Madrid £14million for the Uruguayan.

Forlan has claimed he is happy in Spain but Atletico have privately placed a £17million price-tag around his neck, suggesting Ramos may get his man.

And the Tottenham chief is also hoping to step up his interest in Paraguayan striker Santa Cruz despite Blackburn insisting the South American will not join the Ewood Park exodus.

Santa Cruz scored 23 goals in his first season in English football and with Darren Bent's impressive pre-season form disappearing under the scrutiny of England assistant manager Franco Baldini at Middlesbrough on Saturday Ramos is increasingly determined to land his man.

The money will come from the sale of Berbatov, with White Hart Lane chairman Daniel Levy remaining determined to hold out for at least £30m before he will let the want away Bulgarian complete his "dream" move to United.

But Tottenham remain furious at their attempts to force a cut-price deal.
