Especially for Thornsy, who is "not the only one"...


Recommended Posts

Tottenham are remaining tight-lipped on reports they are favourites to land Newcastle midfielder Jermaine Jenas.

Talks are reported to be on-going between the clubs for the unsettled 22-year-old England international.

 

Spurs have had two bids rejected by Newcastle, who are believed to have dropped their original £20m asking price to £13m.

 

A Tottenham spokesman said: "We're aware of the reports but we have no comment to make on them."

 

Newcastle boss Graeme Souness is resigned to losing Jenas after describing the midfielder's unsettled situation at St James Park as "like living in a goldfish bowl".

 

Souness admitted Spurs initial bid of £8m had been rejected, while a second bid of £10m was also reportedly turned down.

 

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was initially scared off by Newcastle's £20m asking price but may be encouraged to rekindle his interest by hints the Magpies are prepared to lower their demands.

 

Tottenham are reportedly prepared to offer striker Frederic Kanoute in part- exchange, but Souness would prefer cash.

 

If Spurs land Jenas, it would increase boss Martin Jol's options in a strong midfield.

 

Jol is keen to partner recent acquisition, Dutch international Edgar Davids with England international Michael Carrick in the centre of Spurs midfield.
