MEDIA reports in Italy are suggesting Spurs boss Juande Ramos is set to make a fresh bid for Juventus midfielder Tiago.

The 26-year-old former Chelsea man has struggled to secure regular football at the Stadio Olimpico since joining from French club Lyon last year for 13m.

According to Corriere dello Sport Ramos will make a fresh £8 million bid for the Portuguese international as he continues with his rebuilding at White Hart Lane.

Ramos pulled out of a move for the midfielder, who has made just ten apperances for Juventus so far this season, after the Italian giants upped their asking price. However Ramos is hoping they will accept £8 million at the end of the season.
