Tottenham Hotspur news: Sunderland in for Crouch, Modric still playing hard to get
Sunderland are preparing a 10 million Pound bid for Tottenham Hotspur’s out of form striker, Peter Crouch. According to reports, negotiations are underway and it is speculated that Black Cats striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Asamoah-Gyan-c6791, could be offered to Spurs as part of a
trade offer.
Sunderland manager, Steve Bruce, is looking to rebuild his squad over the summer. The departure of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danny-Welbeck-c10233, who was on loan at the Stadium of
light this season, is also set to return to Manchester United in the summer, leaving the Black Cats with precious few options in front of goal.
It is no secret that Steve Bruce is a fan of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Peter-Crouch-c29741. The former Manchester United player tried to sign Crouch from Portsmouth in 2009, but Harry Redknapp managed to convince the youngster to join Spurs instead. Whether or not Tottenham will part with
Peter Crouch remains to be seen, but with Harry Redknapp looking to bring in high profile names to the squad, the 10 million Pound offer for Crouch might be too good an offer to refuse.
Meanwhile, Luka Modric’s future at White Hart Lane is still far from certain despite Harry Redknapp’s insistence that the midfielder is not for sale. The Croatian international has once again refused to rule out the possibility of a transfer, saying that
anything can happen until the final day of the summer transfer window, which closes on the 31st of August.
Speaking on the matter, Modric said, “I'm a Tottenham player and will be in London on July 7 to begin preparing for the season. But I want to say that transfers could occur later. In http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 it is often the case they happen on the last day of the transfer
period, August 31. So it is pointless to worry about anything now. If my situation changes after the start of preparation it would not be a problem."
Tottenham Hotspur finished the 2010/11 Barclays Premier League campaign in fifth place, missing out on UEFA Champions League in the process.
