Loic Remy’s agent has admitted the Marseille star would find a move to Tottenham hard to turn down but does not expect his client to leave the French club this month.
Spurs manager Harry Redknapp has made Remy one of his top targets for the January transfer window as he looks to bolster his side’s challenge for the Premier League title.
Remy is seen as the right player to complement Emmanuel Adebayor and Jermain Defoe in attack, while he is considered a replacement for wantaway Roman Pavyluchenko.
Remy’s agent, Frederic Guerra, says the 25-year-old is interested in a move to White Hart Lane but believes Spurs boss Harry Redknapp is likely to be left frustrated this month.
“Tottenham is a good club performing at a high level. It is natural to be interested, how do you say no?” Guerra told Goal.com. “Spurs have a good eye but I think they will have only a small chance in January.
“Loic is happy in Marseille and he is concentrating on this season. After Euro 2012 the whole of Europe will want to sign him.”
Marseille are believed to have put a €25 million price tag on Remy, way in excess of the sum Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is prepared to spend on the former Nice striker.
Tottenham would like to use Pavlyuchenko as a makeweight in any deal for Remy but Marseille are reluctant to do business, especially as they are in the last 16 of the Champions League and facing a battle to qualify for Europe’s elite competition next season.
“It is not a good time to leave but Remy still has a dream of playing in English football,” Guerra added. “He plays like Thierry Henry - his next move will be to a club at a high level.”
Spurs tried to sign Remy in 2010 but the former Lyon youth player opted to move to the Stade Velodrome in a €15m deal.
And Redknapp confirmed the club’s renewed interest in the France international earlier this week, saying: “He's a good player. He's a player we like and there's interest there.”
