Spurs are reportedly ready to give up the chase for French full-back Pascal Chimbonda after it became clear that Wigan manager Paul Jewell would not negotiate his £6million asking price
 
Jewell said: “There has got to be a club willing to buy anybody before there is a possible departure.

“Until Tottenham comes up, or any club comes up, with what we want for a possible departure, he will remain at our football club because he is paid by Wigan and plays for us.”
