Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has admitted his interest in Sevilla striker Luis Fabiano.
The 29-year-old Brazil international, who impressed during the World Cup, is on Tottenham's hit list as Redknapp looks to strengthen his squad.
He is out of contract at the Spanish club next summer but has a buy-out clause which would allow him to move for 30million euros (£25m).
Spurs have not made any official contact with Sevilla but Redknapp confirmed he would be interested in the forward.
"Yes, I like him," Redknapp told ESPN Soccernet. "He's a fabulous player and would be a brilliant addition to any team.
"It was put to us that he might be available, but we've not made contact with his club Sevilla and, to be perfectly honest, I haven't sat down to discuss any transfer targets with our chairman Daniel Levy, apart from trying to do a deal with Joe Cole.
"I am not unhappy with the squad I have, but of course if a special player came along I would look at it, and Fabiano is a special player all right.
However, Redknapp acknowledged that he could lose out because of the player's salary expectations.
"For sure, he is a class act, but I don't know what he earns. He might be on mega money, so it might prove to be impossible for us."
Fabiano's stock has risen after he hit three goals for Brazil on their run to the World Cup quarter-finals, where they were beaten by Holland.
The player's agent Jose Fuentes admitted last week that no approaches had been made for the player aside from a new contract offer from his current employers.
Fabiano scored 15 goals in 22 Primera Liga appearances for Sevilla last term, and has averaged close to a goal every other game for the Spanish outfit since joining from Porto in 2005.
