Despite last night's announcement by Daniel Levy that Spurs
are not a selling club and that Dimitar Berbatov will not be
going anywhere, the player's agent is not singing from the same
hymn-sheet, as he said the player is getting older and wants to win
things now with a big club. Trying to salvage the situation,
he made things worse by saying he is OK at Spurs, but is not happy
and has made this known to the board, but he is trying hard and this
is out of respect for the fans and his team-mates. Oooh ...
that's good of him. While under contract, he could be made to
stay at the club, although making a huge profit on him might be in
the mind of the board.

The Sunday Mirror reports that Tottenham have all but clinched the
signing of Ajax's 21 year old left back Urby Emanuelson, who
was in the Dutch Under-21 European Championship 2006 winning squad
and has won 10 full caps for his country. The player's agent
says his heart is set on a move to Spurs and a fee of £5 million
should seal the deal for the player who can also play in midfield.
The paper also reveals that Juande Ramos commented after
yesterday's game that while he would love Dimitar Berbatov to
stay at the club, there were other considerations to be taken into
account and that opens the way for it to be interpreted as he will
be leaving in the January transfer window, with Chelsea and
Manchester United keen on bagging the Bulgarian striker.
Despite his goal-scoring for Spurs, albeit from the bench,
Jermain Defoe is being linked in today's papers with Portsmouth,
Aston Villa, Manchester City and Chelsea all willing to make a move
for the England forward. The Sunday
People reckon West Ham United want to pay just £12 million for
Darren Bent (the Sunday Express put it at £10 million, while the
Mirror claims a full £16.5 million offer might be forthcoming) and
the paper claims he regrets not joining the Irons in the summer, but
also state that Manchester City and Aston Villa are monitoring the
situation. The News of the World runs a number of Spurs
stories, including an alleged exit for Anthony Gardner to
Birmingham City or Wolverhampton Wanderers for £3 million, as Spurs
shore up their defensive options with a £8 million move for Lazio's
26 year old central defender Guglielmo Stendardo. The
paper also claims Crystal Palace manager Neil Warnock wants to take
winger Wayne Routledge back to Selhurst Park on loan, but the
England U21 player would prefer a permanent move. It sounds a
bit unlikely, as he left under a cloud when he joined Spurs and
Palace got relegated. SCBC want to re-loan defender Phil
Ifil when his current spell ends on Monday, taking him through
to the end of the season, with a view to a permanent move if the fee
is within their range. The Mail on Sunday says that Tottenham
and Newcastle United will be vying for Manchester United defender
Wes Brown's signature in January.
Didier Zokora has told the Sunday Mirror that he
"would be happy to sign for another five
years. I am very happy and settled here and I have no wish to
leave."

Athletic man at White Hart Lane, but back on the defensive front,
the News of the World pin their hopes on Tottenham increasing the

Emanuelson leave, although The People report Ajax have told Spurs he
is not for sale. Still talking about defenders, the Mirror
reckon that Spurs will be in for Racing Santander's 21 year old
Argentinian defender Ezequiel Garay, who can play either at
full back or at the centre of the defence and will cost around £7.5
million. The Daily Star Sunday also have Tottenham going
