Manchester City manager Mark Hughes has admitted that Vedran Corluka is a transfer target for Tottenham Hotspur.

The Croatia international was left out of City's squad for their pre-season friendly against AC Milan amid reports he was in talks with Spurs over a proposed switch to White Hart Lane.

Spurs boss Juande Ramos is in need of defensive reinforcements following the departure of Pascal Chimbonda to Sunderland.

And while Hughes confirmed that contact had been made over the full-back's services, he insisted a deal was still to be concluded.

Concluded

Hughes told a press conference: "The situation is that Spurs are interested but the deal has not been done.

"If the deal does not feel right then it will not be done.

"He's not with us at the moment, but I don't want to go into details. If something happens in that respect, you'll be the first to know.

"I don't like talking about any prospective business that is being done, whether or not it is likely or not, until it is actually done.

"Once deals are concluded, if they are to be finalised, then I'll discuss them."
