Nigel Reo-Coker aims to reject Spurs for Arsenal
-
Nigel Reo-Coker is fending off interest from Tottenham to hold out for the possibility of a move to Arsenal or Manchester United. West Ham want about £9m for their captain, who submitted a transfer request after feeling he was not part of Alan Curbishley's long-term plans.
It is understood that Tottenham have signalled their interest but the 23-year-old appears to have set his sights on moving to a club in the Champions League. Reo-Coker's adviser, Tony Finnigan, yesterday confirmed that the midfielder would be leaving West Ham this season after just over three years at the club. "He is going and there is a lot of interest," he said.
Any disappointment at White Hart Lane over his apparent preference for Arsenal will be tempered by news that Robbie Keane has agreed a new five-year contract. The Irishman's long-term commitment to Spurs will inevitably provoke fresh speculation about the future of Jermain Defoe but Martin Jol is to reassure the England striker that he remains integral to his plans. Tottenham played 59 games while competing on four fronts over the past season and Defoe, Keane and Dimitar Berbatov scored 68 goals between them in club and international football.
Jol believes that he has the best trio of strikers in the Premiership and regards them as vital to his hopes of breaking into the top four next season after two consecutive fifth-place finishes. With Mido likely to leave after last week being quoted as describing his move to Tottenham as a "big mistake", Jol also will be in the market for another striker, probably Charlton's Darren Bent. Charlton are under no financial pressure to sell but Tottenham have asked to be kept informed of any developments regarding Bent.
Tottenham completed their first major signing of the summer last week with the £10m acquisition of Gareth Bale and they are also understood to be interested in the Portuguese winger Nani. -

Arsene Wenger will want him meh... I'm skeptical about that...

At 23-year-old, he is the captain of his club... He has potential, But may need to go to a bigger club to fulfil his potential...

arsenal have gilberto and fabregas. manu have carrick and scholes.
he is not good enough for the big clubs. if he moves to a big club, it would be the same story as sidwell moving to chelsea -
Wenger did want him last season and in Jan but his club (West Ham) didn't inform him... That could also be the reason why he lost his 100% commitment to them...Originally posted by Slipshade:Arsene Wenger will want him meh... I'm skeptical about that... -
