Charlton striker Darren Bent could be set to snub a move to Liverpool in favour of a switch to Tottenham this summer.
The News of the World claims that Bent will make a £12m move to White Hart Lane in the next few weeks as Martin Jol prepares to start a £24m transfer spree.
The 23-year-old turned down West Ham last week and was immediately touted as a potential big-money signing for Anfield chief Rafa Benitez.
However, it is thought that Bent would prefer to remain in the capital, and long-term admirers Spurs are ready to pounce.
Jol is also ready to step up his efforts to snap up West Brom defender Curtis Davies for a fee in the region of £6m, with Tottenham duo Wayne Routledge and Anthony Gardner heading in the opposite direction as part of the deal.
Jol will reportedly end his summer spending by signing Feyenoord left-back Royston Drenthe and French midfielder Biaise Matuidi from Troyes.
