Having had their previous bid of 20 million for Inter midfielder Fredy Guarin rejected, Tottenham are rumored to be preparing a second bid of 24 million. 

Spurs' insistence on swooping up  Guarin is highly due to the Colombian's time under current Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas at former club Porto.

In other related news, AVB is said to also be highly interested in Inter full-back Alvaro Perreira (who is also a former player of his).
