Fulham manager Chris Coleman has us that £5 million will not be enough to land winger Luis Boa Morte .

Coleman said: “The message to Spurs or anybody else interested in our captain is if they’re seriously interested they have to make a serious offer,”

“A serious offer for Luis Boa Morte isn’t £5 million. We haven’t had an offer that’s anywhere near what his price is.

“If they are interested in him they’ll have to pay. Bear in mind Gary McSheffrey went from Coventry to Birmingham for £4 million. He’s a good player in The Championship, but has no Premiership experience.

“Compare him with Boa Morte - a lad who has played over 250 games in The Premiership over the last five years and a Portuguese international.

“The price would have to be big to lose a player of Boa’s class.

“If someone offered a staggering amount of money for Boa, then I’d have to ask the chairman how much can I have back to invest in other players.

“From a football side I wouldn’t want to sell him at any price, but I have to tell the chairman what has been offered.

“We could maybe invest in two or three new players with the money, but it would have to be a lot of money to sell Boa.”

Tottenham are reportedly watching the progress of Southampton defender Gareth Bale.

Bale, 17, is a full Welsh international and has already appeared for the Saints this term.

Reports are today suggesting that we are ready to move for Valencia defender Roberto Ayala.

Ayala, 33, has publicly admitted his wish to leave the Mestalla this summer and is keen on a quick move to a more competitive team according to his agent Gus Macardi.

Macardi said: “A quick solution would be best for all parties.”

Inter forward Obafemi Martins is available for transfer and wants to leave the club following the arrival of Hernan Crespo from Chelsea accoring to his agent Patrick Bastianelli.

Player agent Bastianelli said: “Oba has requests from Tottenham, Newcastle, Portsmouth and Valencia,”

“Martins feels very close to Inter and Moratti, but it seems clear that we have to find a solution after the club signed Crespo.”

“There are offers on the table, but the player has yet to be placed on the transfer list. We are in continual contact with the club.”

The Papers are today linking favourite Mido to a dramatic return to White Hart lane this summer.

Marty is still looking for a fourth striker to add to his squad and what a signing it would be for the club.

Lets hope he can persuade him to return although we still have to land a defender prior to kick off also.

Tottenham Hotspur director Daniel Levy is apparently preparing to make a move for Wigan full-back Pascal Chimbonda.

The deal, which is believed to include a cash amount, plus both Danny Murphy and Ireland international Andy Reid, could see Lactics manager Paul Jewell finally accept a bid for the French international.

Spurs have already had a £3.5million offer rejected by Wigan earlier this summer.

West Brom manager Bryan Robson has made 21-year-old defender Curtis Davies his new captain at the club.

The talented defender, who is currently being courted by Tottenham, Portsmouth and Arsenal has only just signed a new deal at the club and will be keen to repay his managers faith in him.

Robson said: “I’ve made him captain because of his character. He’s grown up very quickly in the last couple of years.”

Is this guy all he is cracked up to be?????

Reports are today suggesting that Tottenham star Michael Carrick will be a Manchester United in the next couple of days.
 
If the move goes ahead, United manager Sir Alex Ferguson will finally have landed one of his major off-season targets and will be happy to have filled the troublesome holding midfield position at the club.

Carrick will apparently sign £50,000-a-week four year deal at Old Trafford.

Newly promoted Watford is being linked to Tottenham outcast Wayne Routledge today.

The lightning fast 21-year-old, of whom much was expected, has failed to impress the staff at White Hart Lane since his £4million transfer from Crystal Palace and could be on his way out of the club in the next couple of weeks.

Charlton are also believed to be interested in acquiring his services.

Manchester City starlet Micah Richards seems to have put an end to the rumours linking him with a move to Tottenham by signing a new four-year deal with the club today.

The talented 18-year-old has attracted the attention of boss Martin Jol and he reportedly had a recent £5million offer rejected by City.
