Spurs warned Sevilla will look elsewhere if they dont lower Didier Zokora asking price

Sevilla have called for patience in their pursuit of Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Didier Zokora.
But with Spurs asking for at least £8million for the Ivory Coast international, the Spanish club have already lined up other candidates.
Zokora, 28, is still their No 1 target, but Sevilla president Jose Maria del Nido says he has to complete the sales of a number of players before strengthening the squad.
'We have a lot of money in the four or five players for whom we are trying to find a transfer,' he said. 'Everyone just has to stay calm.'
If Spurs don't budge on the price, Sevilla are also looking at 22-year-old Argentine Hernan Bernardello of Newell's Old Boys and Malaga's 25-year-old midfielder Apono.
Sevilla are also ready to rival Manchester City for Espanyol's Spain Under 21 defender Sergio Sanchez, who could be available for about £3.5m.
