Soldado departs Spurs for Villarreal

 

Tottenham have confirmed that Roberto Soldado has left the north London club for Spanish side Villarreal. 

 

The striker moved to Spurs two years ago following Gareth Bale's big-money switch to Real Madrid, but after a bright start to life in London, failed to settle in England.

Soldado bagged just seven league goals over two seasons at the club, though his goals did win Spurs a further 12 points. 

 

However, after Harry Kane's emergence as first choice frontman, Spurs have opted to cash in on Soldado, with the former Valencia captain penning a three-year deal with the Yellow Submarines.
