Wright-Phillips 'will sign for Spurs this week'
-
Tottenham are aiming to tie up the £12million signing of Chelsea winger Shaun Wright-Phillips this week. The north Londoners are in "advanced negotiations" with the deposed champions to snap up the England star and take their summer spending to nearly £50m.
Reports in the Daily Mirror suggest Tottenham have refused to comment on the state of talks between the clubs but boss Martin Jol is a huge admirer of Wright-Phillips, whose acquisition would give a massive boost to the club's chances of breaking into the top four.
Jol has snapped up Darren Bent, Gareth Bale and Younes Kaboul as part of some impressive transfer dealing to leave Spurs fans dreaming of easing arch-rivals Arsenal out of the Champions League qualifying places.
Now the swoop for Wright-Phillips, 25, is sure to heighten those expectations - especially as the winger is thought to be keen on the proposed move. He was chased by Tottenham two years ago when he was up for sale at Manchester City but they were blown out of the water by Chelsea who paid £21m for the player. Aston Villa and City are also interested.
Tottenham are also on the brink of signing Bulgarian left-sided midfielder Martin Petrov from Atletico Madrid in an £8m deal. -
i often wonder why Tottenham so rich?

Ya no point gg to Tottenham. They are still 2nd rated team in EPL.
only UEFA cup. They wont be able to enter Champion league this season, next season and... at least for the next 5 seasons. -
they signed a lot of players but their playing hardly improved.

if tottenham even wants to consider trading lennon, it should be chelsea topping up the money. -
both players are equally good. but its more likely that spurs ask for money judging how both players fared last seasonOriginally posted by ghimpheng:Exchange him for Lennon and top us money -
lennon is much better than SWP.
SWP is too predictable. -
but swp is better in shooting then lennon
-
screw lennon la.
get quaresma! -
SWP should play CCC football and get some 1st team action. He will be the only one that will benefit from such an arrangement.

Chelsea to fight Spurs' SWP bid
CHELSEA are trying to freeze out Tottenham in their attempt to land Shaun Wright-Phillips. Spurs have tabled an £11million bid and the winger is keen to link up with boss Martin Jol.
But Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon hopes to avoid selling as he believes Spurs will become title rivals in future seasons.
And, over the last week, Kenyon has refused to take calls from White Hart Lane officials hoping to complete a deal. Aston Villa have tried to sign Wright-Phillips, 25, with Manchester City and West Ham also interested. -
NB, just sell SWP and use the money for other players la. Farking kenyon.
