Tottenham put Lennon, Parker & Van der Vaart up for sale
The senior trio, who were all key figures in the Spurs team that
finished fourth in the Premier League last season under Harry Redknapp,
are set to be the latest casualties of the Villas-Boas revolution.
The Portuguese has decided to completely refurbish the team that
Redknapp built as he seeks to lower the average age of the squad and
introduce greater dynamism in the spine of the team.
Sources have told Goal.com that Van der Vaart, 29, Lennon, 25, and
Parker, who turns 32 in October, have all been made aware they will be
sold for the right price.
Van der Vaart will be allowed to leave this week if cash-strapped
Hamburg, the Dutchman’s former club, can meet Spurs’ €11 million (£9m)
valuation before Friday’s deadline.
Spurs will also, more surprisingly, listen to offers for Lennon and
Parker. It is understood that Villas-Boas shares Redknapp’s doubts about
Lennon’s ability to consistently deliver the goods and does not see a
long-term role for Parker in central midfield.
The €7m (£5.5m) 2011 deadline day buy from West Ham started all four of
England’s matches at Euro 2012 but is likely to have slipped down the
pecking order when he returns in October after undergoing surgery on his
right Achilles.
It is unlikely Lennon or Parker, given his injury, will be sold by
Friday night’s deadline but they are set to be off-loaded at the first
realistic opportunity, which could even be in January.
The revelation of Villas-Boas’ plans comes after he sanctioned the sales
of established duo Michael Dawson and Brad Friedel, while fringe players
such as Jermaine Jenas, David Bentley, Heurelho Gomes and Giovanni dos
Santos have all been told they are surplus to requirements.
Spurs are looking to re-invest the money from the €42m (£33m) sale of
Luka Modric to Real Madrid to build a squad that can challenge for the
top four.
Check out the latest transfer rumours and gossip in our dedicated
Transfer Talk section here They could complete a deal to sign Fulham
midfielder Moussa Dembele on Wednesday after meeting the release clause
in the Belgian midfielder’s contract, with the 25-year-old undergoing
the first part of a medical on Tuesday night.
Tottenham are also closing in on a €15m (£12m) deal for Hugo Lloris
after Lyon granted permission for the goalkeeper to discuss personal
terms with the Londoners.
The club’s €19m (£15m) move for Shakhtar Donetsk attacker Willian has
stalled, however, while CSKA midfielder Alan Dzagoev is considered too
expensive.
Villas-Boas remains in the hunt for Joao Moutinho, his countryman who he
regards as the ideal replacement for Modric, and still wants a
centre-forward after the club failed in their latest £18m pursuit of
Leandro Damiao from Internacional. |
