Tottenham eye strike duo and other transfer gossip

Tottenham are monitoring Craig Bellamy’s position at Manchester City after it emerged that the temperamental Welsh striker wants out of Eastlands following the sacking of Mark Hughes. He is expected to cost Spurs £10m. Real Madrid striker Ruud van Nistelrooy is also on Harry Redknapp’s radar but he will have to fight hard to fend off Liverpool and Arsenal. Elsewhere, new Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini is tracking £8m-rated Younes Kaboul, a player who recently flopped at Spurs; and Aston Villa and Liverpool are set to go head-to-head for Sunderland striker Kenwyne Jones who is valued at £12 m.
