(GSM) Tottenham s Wilson Palacios has sensationally admitted he dreams of a future move to Spanish giants Real Madrid. The Honduran might be risking the wrath of his boss Harry Redknapp, who won t be too thrilled with the player s announcement.
The hard-working midfielder has proved his worth since his £12million transfer from Wigan in January 2009. However, he has revealed he sees Tottenham as a stepping stone as he dreams of a future switch to Real Madrid.
And although Tottenham are serious contenders for a top-four Premier League finish, Palacios, 25, has spoken of his desire to move to a bigger club .
I am really happy at Tottenham but I will continue working for a future move to a bigger club, Palacios said in The Sun.
I would love to play for …
Germany defender Marcell Jansen said Thursday he is optimistic of being able to play in June s World Cup as he battles to overcome an ankle injury.
The 24-year-old had been in plaster since picking up the injury four weeks ago, but Germany team doctor Hans-Wilhelm Mueller-Wohlfahrt says the ankle is healing well and Jansen can begin strength training and running next week.
Germany coach Joachim Loew has been informed of Jansen s progress with the World Cup squad set to be announced on May 6.
I am pleased the doctors are happy with the way the ankle is healing, said Jansen, who won the last of his 30 caps in September 2009.
Of course, I will train as hard as I can and hope to improve my World Cup chances.

Luis Enrique will prove his critics wrong and lead Barcelona to further success this season, says former team-mate Rivaldo.
Despite winning LaLiga and the Copa del Rey in both of his first two seasons in charge at Camp Nou and claiming the UEFA Champions League to complete a treble in 2014-15, Luis Enrique s future remains in doubt.
His contract is due to expire at the end of the campaign and he has refused to commit his future to the Catalan giants.
With Barca trailing fierce rivals Real Madrid in the league this season, the 46-year-old has been criticised by some for his managerial style.
Rivaldo remains a big fan, though, and is confident Luis Enrique will stay and deliver further silverware for the Blaugrana.
For those who are coach of Barcel…

Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund are close to agreeing a deal for the transfer of Jadon Sancho, according to Miguel Delaney of the .
Sancho scored 20 goals and assisted as much in 44 appearances in all competitions for Dortmund in 2019/20.
It was recently that the 20-time English champions were unwilling to match Dortmund s demands for the 20-year-old winger, but it seems a deal which would see the player leave the Signal Iduna Park for Old Trafford has moved closer to realization. Dortmund s initial valuation of the player stood at €120 million, but with Sancho desiring the move and the Bundesliga side desiring to finish shaping their squad for next season by August 10th, they are now apparently ready to accept an initial fee of £60 million (€66m) potentia…
Paulo Dybala came to Juventus rescue with two late goals as they came from behind to defeat Lokomotiv Moscow 2-1 in the Champions League.
Aleksey Miranchuk s first-half goal had looked set to cause a major upset in Tuesday s Group D clash in Turin until Argentina forward Dybala struck in the 77th and 79th minute.
Victory will come as a relief to boss Maurizio Sarri, who had seen his team struggle to break down a resolute Lokomotiv defence.
The result sees them keep pace in the table with Atletico Madrid, with the two sides looking well placed to reach the knockout phases after their respective successes on matchday three.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Leonardo Bonucci spurned opportunities and Juve were made to pay on the half-hour mark when Miranchuk clini…
Shakhtar Donetsk signed Croatian international striker Eduardo from English Premier League side Arsenal on a four-year deal on Wednesday, the Ukrainian champions said on their website.
Reports said that Shakhtar paid the Gunners seven million euros for the 27-year-old Croatian forward who joined Arsenal in July 2007.
In November last year Eduardo signed a new long-term contract with Arsenal after making a successful comeback from a horrific injury which sidelined him for almost a year.
The Brazilian-born forward broke his leg and dislocated his ankle in February 2008 but re-established himself as a first-team regular at the Emirates when Robin van Persie and Nicklas Bendtner were sidelined by injury.
Eduardo made a total of 67 appearances, scoring 20 tim…

Paris Saint-Germain will look to put their Coupe de France exit behind them when they travel to Guingamp on Saturday.
Laurent Blanc s side fell to a shock 2-1 home defeat at the hands of lowly Montpellier in the round of 32 on Wednesday, ending their quest for a trophy they have not won since 2010.
The result was a rare blip for the men from the French capital, who have been largely unbeatable in the league this season, having lost just one Ligue 1 fixture so far and have won four of their last five matches.
PSG won the reverse fixture between these sides 2-0 in August, but will have bad memories of their last trip to Stade du Roudourou, which saw them suffer a 1-0 Coupe de la Ligue defeat in 2010.
But Guingamp have been on a poor run of form of late. One win in …
