According to Tottenham’s official website, Tottenham have completed the signing of Portsmouth defender Younes Kaboul.

According to Portsmouth’s official website, Portsmouth have signed Tottenham midfielder Jamie O’Hara on loan for the rest of the season.

According to Neil Allen at The News, Tottenham are in talks with Portsmouth for goalkeeper Asmir Begovic.

However it is reported that Begovic would not be able to play with Tottenham this season unless FIFA gives the club special permission. The reason for this is because Begovic has already played for two clubs this season.

UPDATE: According to Sky Sports News, Tottenham have signed Gudjohnsen on loan for the rest of the season.

January 26th, 2010 According to Sky Sports News, Gudjohnsen has taken a medical for West Ham United. It is also reported that Tottenham are interested in the Monaco striker as well.

January 23rd, 2010 According to Paul Smith at MirrorFootball, Monaco striker Eidur Gudjohnsen is set to sign with West Ham United on loan. It is reported that he is flying to England tonight to complete the deal.

According to Sky Sports News, Tottenham are set to loan out Giovani Dos Santos for the rest of the season to Galatasaray. It is also reported that the club will have the option of permanently signing him in the summer.

According to Neil Allen at The News, Portsmouth are prepared to cash in on Younes Kaboul and Nadir Belhadj this week.

Kaboul has been linked with Tottenham and Manchester City and is valued at around £11million. Belhadj has drawn interest from Wigan, Birmingham, and Sporting Lisbon and is valued at around £3.5million.

UPDATE: According to Real Madrid’s official website, striker Ruud Van Nistelrooy has signed with Hamburg on a free transfer.

January 22nd, 2010 According to ESPN Soccernet, David Sullivan confirmed that the offer was for Nistelrooy. Sullivan said,

“We know Spurs wanted him but we have offered far more money … You could say it doesn’t make sense because I have been critical of others who have overspent at this club, but that is missing the point.

“There has to be different wages for different players, and if we have identified one special player, and strikers are special, we have to pay the going rate to get him … And even offering as much as we have done, we are still competing with one foreign club. It’s now down to us and a foreign club, and I believe we shall know in the next 72 hours, but they have a big advantage.

“We are lumbered with a 50% tax rate, the pound is weak against the euro, so it doesn’t make it particularly attractive for a foreign player. But Van Nistelrooy wants to come back to the Premier League so we do have a fighting chance, and we are waiting to hear. But we also have a fallback position or two, because we have identified the need for at least one striker.”

It is also reported by James Riach at Sky Sports News that Tottenham aren’t going to break the bank for Nistelrooy as they feel it is too big of a gamble.

January 22nd, 2010 According to ESPN Soccernet, West Ham United have made an offer of £100,000-a-week for a striker. Owner David Sullivan told BBC Radio 5 Live,

“We’ve offered £100,000-a-week to a player today and we are still not sure we are going to get him … That was a very special player … There’s no transfer fee involved and he’s got the choice of almost every club in Europe. He has played at the highest level. He’s down to three clubs and West Ham are the only English club still in the hunt for him.”

“We can carry one exceptional player, who would make a difference on that wage, but generally we have to bring the wages down and in the summer we would hope to sign younger players on a fraction of those wages.

Some are reporting the offer was for Real Madrid striker Ruud Van Nistelrooy who is possibly available on loan.

According to Tony Banks at the Daily Express, Inter Milan are preparing to make a bid for Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas in the next few days. Jenas is reportedly worth around £10million.

According to Sky Sports News, Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp does not expect to sign anybody this month. Redknapp said,

“I’d be surprised if we signed anyone, very surprised.”

According to ESPN Soccernet, Tottenham are the favorites to land Portsmouth defender Younes Kaboul. A Popmpey insider said,

“Yes, we are working on a deal with Spurs, but yes it is pretty complex. Spurs look favourite to sign Kaboul but five clubs have shown interest, three from the Premier League, Spurs, Manchester City and Sunderland.”

Tottenham would most likely receive £2million off the signing of Kaboul as Portsmouth still owes Tottenham £2million from when they bought Kaboul.

According to ESPN Soccernet, Tottenham striker Roman Pavlyuchenko is not interested in a move to Zenit St. Petersburg. Pavlyuchenko said,

“In the last couple of days I have received an avalanche of phone calls from my friends and the media asking if it is true I will move to Zenit … Some papers had presented it as if my transfer had already gone through.”

“I may disappoint some and calm down others by saying that my move to St Petersburg is not an issue. And I must stress this is my personal choice. I just cannot imagine myself wearing Zenit’s shirt.”

According to ESPN Soccernet, Tottenham have not made a bid for Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster. Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp said,

“I have no idea where this story has come from because we have never made an offer for Ben Foster, let alone had one rejected … He is an England goalkeeper and I cannot see him going somewhere as a number two anyway.”

According to Salvatore Landolina at Goal.com, Tottenham have not made a bid for Palermo defender Simon Kjaer. His father Jorn Kjaer told TV2 Sporten,

“The only thing we can say at the moment is that there has not been any contact … We have never heard anything from Tottenham, and Palermo have never informed us about any deal.”

Palermo director Walter Sabatini also stated that Kjaer is not for sale. Sabatini told Sportmediaset.it,

“We will not sell him in January even though many agents and intermediaries have been in touch … Palermo’s intention is not to sell him, but to keep him until the end of the season.”

According to Darren Lewis at MirrorFootball, Tottenham are interested in signing Portsmouth goalkeeper David James, who seemed all set to join Stoke City last week before the deal fell through.

It is reported that Tottenham are willing to pay James’ wages but the possible deal-breaker could be if Portsmouth demands a loan fee as well.

According to the Daily Mail, Spartak Moscow goalkeeper Stipe Pletikosa does not want to leave the club if he gets more playing time. Pletikosa said,

“I’ve always said that if I play, I don’t want to leave … I’m happy here. Next season we will play in the Champions League, which every footballer wants to be part of … However, if I don’t get the chance to play, then certainly in the summer I’ll find a change in scenary.”

Tottenham have been rumored to be interested in the Croatian goalkeeper.

UPDATE: According to Simon Johnson at the London Evening Standard, Internacional have pulled out of the deal that would’ve sent midfielder Sandro to Tottenham. Vice president Fernando Carvalho said,

“Sandro is not moving in this transfer window. The partnership with Tottenham has not been finalised, there are a number of details which we did not sign up to. Sandro’s exit could only have happened if this was in place.”

“He will now play in the Libertadores for Inter. It may come in August that he will move to Europe - but that could be true of any of our players.”

January 13th, 2010 According to David Hytner at the Guardian, Tottenham have agreed to personal with Internacional midfielder Sandro as they are closing in on completing the deal for £6million. Sandro’s lawyer Luiz Paulo Chignall said,

According to Tottenham’s official website, Tottenham have sold 20-year-old striker Tomas Pekhart to FK Jablonec 97.

According to David Hytner at the Guardian, Tottenham have agreed to personal with Internacional midfielder Sandro as they are closing in on completing the deal for £6million. Sandro’s lawyer Luiz Paulo Chignall said,

“We have now agreed all of Sandro’s personal terms – his salary, the length of his contract and so on, although nothing can yet be signed.”

“Sandro is happy and ready to join Tottenham. We liked the offer. All that remains is for Tottenham and Inter to finalise the small details, including the transfer fee. I know that Daniel Levy is speaking to Vittorio Piffero.”

According to James Nursey at MirrorFootball, Birmingham are interested in signing Tottenham striker Roman Pavlyuchenko and are willing to pay up to £10million for him.

According to Elliot Ball at Sky Sports News, Aston Villa boss Martin O’Neill is not interested in signing Tottenham striker Robbie Keane. O’Neill said,

“I see us linked with players and some of our players are being linked with other clubs but at this minute I have nothing to report … There is no definite movement in either direction. Maybe like most Premier League managers, I’d probably like to keep it that way. Robbie Keane? There is absolutely nothing in it.”
