Chivas have made tentative enquiries over the availability of Tottenham youngster Giovani dos Santos.

The Mexican playmaker only moved to White Hart Lane in the summer but he has been frustrated by injuries and does not appear to figure in the long-term plans of Harry Redknapp.

Chivas now appear set to offer Giovani a route back to his homeland, with vice-president Nestor de la Torre discussing his situation with Spurs.

De la Torre said: "We have asked various questions about his contractual situation, but the truth is that there has been nothing formal."

According to De la Torre, Chivas were turned down earlier in the season when they spoke to Spurs about Giovani.

"We wanted to ask for him a few weeks ago and at that moment they gave us a negative answer," he said.

"We had an interest then, but we did not continue any negotiation as they said no."
