Spurs to hand Jol £30M for three big signings

Sunday, May 20, 2007

The Mail on Sunday says Tottenham will back manager Martin Jol with £30 million to sign Darren Bent, Morten Gamst Pedersen and Gareth Bale as they try to break into the Champions League next season.

Owners ENIC are keen to extend White Hart Lane in the next couple of seasons and believe they have a chance of overhauling neighbours Arsenal to push into the top-four elite.

Spurs intend to offer £10 million for Charlton striker Bent and will make an £8 million bid for Southampton left-back Gareth Bale.

Martin Jol, the Tottenham manager, is also turning to Blackburn Rovers winger Pedersen after receiving little encouragement from Middlesbrough over his long-standing interest for Stewart Downing.
