Atletico Madrid have reportedly expressed an interest in signing Roberto Soldado on loan from Tottenham Hotspur.

The Spaniard joined the North London side in a £26m move last summer, scoring six goals in his debut season at White Hart Lane.

According to Marca, Diego Simeone is keen to bring in Soldado as a replacement for Diego Costa, who joined Chelsea earlier this summer, but does not have the funds to complete a permanent deal.

The La Liga champions are thought to be in negotiations with a number of players over loan moves.
