Spurs to seek out loan deals and other red-hot gossip

Tottenham are set to cap their summer spending at just £9m by targeting loan deals instead of buying players outright. This is far less than expected as many thought the Champions League debutants would spend heavily. Manager Harry Redknapp on Monday said the club were now looking at Manchester City striker Craig Bellamy and AC Milan striker Klaas Jan Huntelaar as loan targets. Elsewhere, Fulham have joined the race to take ex-Arsenal midfielder Alexander Hleb on loan from Barcelona; Chelsea are set to complete the signing of Brazilian World Cup midfielder Ramires from Benfica on a £18.3m deal; and Manchester United could be offered the chance to re-sign Villarreal's Italian striker Giuseppe Rossi, 23, who is being tracked by a number of top clubs, after the Old Trafford outfit inserted a buy-back clause when they sold him three years ago for £6.7m.
