Sheringham might turn down other offers to stay at Tottenham next
season. The veteran striker said he has no problem with the club
waiting until the end of the season to talk about a new contract and

Sullivan saved a penalty too.

Iversen, Sheringham, Ricketts, Keane
MANCHESTER
CITY TEAM NEWS : - Eyal Berkovic is likely to be ruled out after
being withdrawn in the last match, with Ali Benarbia replacing him in

The
London Evening Standard carries a story about Hoddle possible transfer
budget for the summer and contains a throw-away line about experienced
signings not paying off and that Sheringham and Poyet will leave in
the close season.
The
Daily Star reckon Spurs have sounded out West Ham United on the
availability of Freddie Kanoute, their French striker, who could be
bought for as little as £4 million if the Irons sink into Division

Stephen
Carr and Gary Doherty have been name din the Republic of Ireland squad

Planet
Football reports that Tottenham are just one of a host of clubs who

On
the official club website, Dean Richards has stated that he hopes to

Chris Sutton from Spurs, as Glenn Hoddle seeks to find a strike
partner for Robbie Keane. £6 million has been quoted as a
possible transfer fee, with a £1.5 million down payment and the rest
in instalments.
Thankfully,
in another report on the Sporting Life site, Hoddle says that the days
of big money moves are over and that any player who fetches £6
million will be a very special one. Hopefully, that rules out
Sutton, who's brother was released by Spurs earlier this season.

Glenn
Hoddle has been as good as his word and has moved to end the injury
nightmare that the Tottenham players have been suffering. He has
hired the services of Argentinian doctor Dario Rubens Oliva, who was
Maradona's medical adviser and specialises in getting players back to
fitness earlier than would normally be expected. Mauricio
Taricco has been effectively by Oliva, who has also helped resolve a
frozen shoulder problem suffered by Milenko Acimovic. Hoddle
regards him as a genius and is also using controversial German doctor
Hans-Muller Wolfhart, who has treated Michael Owen and Jurgen
Klinsmann and has used pig's blood in his treatments.
TOTTENHAM
TEAM NEWS : - Anthony Gardner will be available for the match at Leeds
in Saturday. Rohan Ricketts remains in the squad, but Jamie
Slabber is still out with an ankle injury. Iversen, Richards and
Rednapp are back in training, but not yet match fit.
LEEDS
UNITED TEAM NEWS : - Peter Reid is likely to name an unchanged side
for the match. Lucic, Bravo and Okon are all omitted from the
squad once more, with Bridges, Batty and Johnson all missing through
injury.
The
latest club linked with Teddy Sheringham is ... Sporting Lisbon, who
are reported to be offering a £42,000 a week salary.
West
Ham United are to release Lee Bowyer at the end of the season as they
cannot afford his £35,000 a week wage. A move for him in the
summer by Spurs had been rumoured at the time he signed for the Irons.
Atalanta's
24 year old central defender Cesare Natali is hopeful of coming to
England to play in the Premiership, with Tottenham one of the clubs
looking at him, along with Arsenal and Newcastle United. He has
a contract that runs until summer 2004, but if he does not get offered
a new contract this close season, the club will cash in on him, rather
than lose him on a Bosman the year after. AC Milan, Juventus and
Parma are also monitoring the situation.

SADDAM STILL ALIVE
Saddam Hussein has just given a TV interview on Iraqi television to
show that he wasn't killed in last night's bombing.
He said "To prove I am still alive, Spurs were total sh*te on
Saturday."
A British Government spokesman moved quickly to question the validity
of the broadcast, saying: "That could have been recorded months
ago."

In
a letter to Spurs fans justifying the season ticket price rises,
Chairman Daniel Levy has said that money will be made available to
Glenn Hoddle to strengthen and deepen the squad in preparation for the
2003-04 season.
Perhaps
worryingly, the London Evening Standard are hinting that some of it
might be spent on Kevin Phillips, who Sunderland might let go as part
of a drastic down-sizing of their squad.
Scandalous
rumour of the day ... in the Sun, Newcastle United are supposedly
thinking over a bid for Stephen Carr.
Espanyol
defender Antonio Soldevilla is being tracked by Spurs and Bolton
Wanderers. The 24 year old might be one of the players sold off
should the Barcelona based side be relegated.
TeamTalk
report that the Tottenham reserve wing back Dean Marney will be put
through his paces on trial at Luton Town. However, this might be
another case of mistaken identity with the player who was on trial at
Sheffield United a couple of weeks ago from Harrow Borough.
Spurs
reserves won 4-2 against Fulham reserves tonight at Woking FC.
The goals were scored by Steffen Iversen, Lee Barnard, Anthony Gardner
and Mark Yeates (continuing his own good goal-scoring run).

Sheringham has said that he will consider deals from several clubs at

and Spurs might follow up the interest in the highly rated player.

Richards has begun training again after his back injury.

Matthew
Etherington will wait until the summer before deciding whether to sign
a new two year deal with Tottenham. The winger said that he
needed more first team exposure than a couple of minutes at the end of
each game.
Tottenham
were amongst a host of clubs who sent representatives to a game in
Belgium between Lierse and Anderlecht to watch the latter's Ivory
Coast striker Aruna Didane. However, he has just signed a new
contract with Anderlecht and to prise him away will be costly.

Teddy
Sheringham has been offered a king's ransom to play for two years in

Portsmouth have been expressing an interest in taking the former
England striker, but put up against this offer, they would pale into
insignificance (as they should).
The
same paper says Tottenham are keen to sign Bayer Leverkusen's Turkish
international Yildiray Basturk. The 25-year old midfielder is
said to be available for £2 million. Liverpool are also
interested.

Hoddle admits on the Soccernet site that he has not been able to

being put in place to get players back from injury quicker.
TOTTENHAM
TEAM NEWS : - Spurs will be without stomach muscle victim Steffen
Freund and Anthony Gardner with an ankle injury. Alton Thelwell

Wednesday.
BIRMINGHAM

misses out with a dislocated shoulder. Damien Johnson, Darren
Carter and Piotr Swierczewski all fight to replace Savage, while Geoff
Horsfield takes Morrison's place. Stan Lazaridis will have a
late fitness test on a dodgy hamstring. Ian Bennett also picked
up a knock in training and loanee from Barnsley Andy Marriott is
waiting for the call should the regular keeper not make it.
An
unfounded internet rumour suggests that Spurs might be interested in
bringing forward Paul McVeigh back to White Hart Lane from Norwich

Corradi, who has been the subject of enquiries from the club about his

Some
of Tottenham's pre-season fixtures are starting to take shape.
Spurs are rumoured to be playing the MK Dons at their National Hockey
Stadium ground in a warm-up match for the new season and they will
also visit Adams Park to face Wycombe Wanderers on July 19th (kick off
3.00 p.m.) in a testimonial for Dave Jones, a long-serving physio at
the club.
Antoine
Sibierski of Lens says that there is only one club in England that
interests him and that is Spurs. he has the utmost respect for
Tottenham Hotspur and Glenn Hoddle, who he says knows French football
very well. The 28 year old midfielder sees himself as the new
Teddy Sheringham (I hope he means a few years back when Teddy was very
good) and being available at just about £3 million, he might fall
into Tottenham's price range.
Sibierski's
fellow Lens player, forward Daniel Moriera said that both Spurs and
Arsenal are looking at him with a view to a transfer. He has
stated that he would like to play for a London based club ... which
rules out Wimbledon then (unless he goes to AFC Wimbledon).
Matthew
Etherington was an unused substitute in England Under-21's 1-1 draw
with Turkey at St. James' Park, Newcastle tonight.
