London calling: Brazil star Baptista could be at Spurs[LNB]Julio Baptista's agent is to have talks with Tottenham later this week about a possible move back to the Premier League.   [LNB]Brazil midfielder Baptista spent the 2006-07 campaign on loan at Arsenal and could be heading back to north London after two seasons with Roma. [LNB]'The Beast' has also aroused interest from Greece and Turkey but Spurs boss Harry Redknapp is said to be particularly keen and is prepared to offer £7.5million.   [LNB]Reports in Italy claim that Roma official Frank Trimboli and Baptista's agent would have talks in London on Thursday.   [LNB]Trimboli was key in negotiating John Arne Riise's move from Liverpool to Roma and Alberto Aquilani's transfer in the opposite direction last summer.   [LNB]Baptista's agent Juan Figer said:'Julio wants a team who will let him play more. He is now at the World Cup and when that it is over we will decide his future.   [LNB]'He has a contract with Roma but everything is possible. He had a good first season but this year he has played less - although being at the World Cup at the moment with Brazil puts him in the shop window.'
