Tottenham To Swoop For Liverpool's Ryan Babel? - Report
Dutch forward Ryan Babel could be a surprise transfer target for Tottenham Hostpur in the January transfer window...
According to a report in the British tabloid the Daily Mirror, Tottenham Hotpsur manager Harry Redknapp could be set to bid for Liverpool forward Ryan Babel in the January transfer window.
It appears that Babel is unhappy at not being considered a regular starter at Anfield after revealing that he asked manager Rafa Benitez for a loan move.
Although the 21-year-old explained that the Spaniard turned down his request, it is thought that Spurs will test the Reds' resolve by offering between £7-8 million for the former Ajax star.
Babel has featured in 19 games for Liverpool this season, but only six of those appearances have been from the start, much to the frustration of the Netherlands international.
It is unclear as to whether Benitez will want to part with the versatile attacker, but with rumours that the club's American owners may be struggling financially, they could decide to cash in on a player who, for the time being at least, is not considered indespensible.
