Tottenham are believed to be the latest team on the trail of Southampton midfielder Andrew Surman.
The 21-year-old prospect is the latest cult hero at the St Mary's Stadium where fans are used to hailing exciting young prospects like Matthew Le Tissier, Theo Walcott and Gareth Bale who have emerged through the ranks.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy revealed that sporting director Daniel Comolli visited the south coast on Saturday to watch Southampton's Championship match with barnsley and there is little doubt that he will have taken a keen interest in Surman's form.
Tottenham are not the first premier League team to show an interest in the young player who was born in Johannesburg.
Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp has already been strongly linked with taking the player along the M27 to Fratton Park.
