TOTTENHAM CLOSE TO LOVE
Tottenham sent CSKA Moscow's Brazilian striker Vagner Love a Valentine's Card - but no present, so he did not move in the January transfer window.
The striker, 24, has over 20 caps for Brazil, and was interested in a move to the Premier League.
However, Tottenham's bid fell short of CSKA's valuation of the player.
Love said: "Tottenham were very interested in me. I received an offer from the club and went to the president of CSKA (Yevgeny Giner) to ask to leave.
"But he decided that the conditions Spurs offered to CSKA didn't meet his expectations.
"He reminded me that I have a contract with CSKA. I will continue playing for the Russian side, but someday I hope I will go to one of the big clubs in Europe."
