Tottenham have had their player plus cash offer for France international Pascal Chimbonda rejected by Wigan today.

Wigan boss Paul Jewell revealed: “Pascal has come back and his agent was in my office when I spoke with Spurs and said we wanted the full £6 million for Chimbonda, ”

“Spurs offered a couple of players. We could not reach a deal and if we do not get the full amount the player stays where he is.

“We still think it is a very fair valuation.

“Don’t forget not many clubs were keen to take a chance on him this time last year.”
