1. Samuel Eto’o to Spurs
Tottenham have outbid Italian giants AC Milan and Inter for the mouthy Barcelona striker (pictured). The Yids will go up to £24m for the Cameroon international – that’s £8m more than the Italian sides are prepared to pay. [Epping Forest Guardian]
2. Dean Ashton to Spurs
Tottenham have expressed an interest in the unsettled West Ham forward. It’s thought that West Ham boss Alan Curbishley will listen to offers around the £12m mark. [Football Corner]
3. Albert Riera to Liverpool
Reports in Spain claim Rafa Benitez is preparing an £8m raid for 26-year-old Espanyol winger Albert Riera, who made 15 appearances for Man City during a loan spell in 2006. [Fans FC]


4. Arda Turan to Newcastle Utd
Kevin Keegan is eager to win the race for the highly rated Galatasaray winger; Middlesbrough and Tottenham have also shown an interest in the 21-year-old, but reports suggest Keegan is in pole position to wrap up an £11m deal.
5. Roque Santa Cruz to Arsenal
Arsene Wenger wants a piece of the Blackburn Rovers and Paraguay striker – but only if Arsenal lose Emmanuel Adebayor in the summer. [Times]
6. Stewart Downing to Liverpool
Rafa Benitez will bid £12m for Boro’s star winger, essentially as a replacement for the useless Harry Kewell. [Square Football]
