Decent bets

Dimitar Berbatov met his agent in Bulgaria last night to try to force through his move from Tottenham Hotspur to Manchester United. The 27-year-old forward is on international duty for the match against Bosnia-Herzegovina tomorrow night and he is worried that United will try to sign Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, the Holland striker, from Ajax if Tottenham refuse to lower their £30 million asking price. “We’re entering a crucial period of negotiations,” Emil Dantchev, Berbatov’s agent, said.

Zenit St Petersburg have told Tottenham that they will not sell Andrei Arshavin, the Russia playmaker, for less than £20 million. “It is take it or leave it,” Dennis Lachter, Arshavin’s agent, said. “That is the final price.”
