Spurs close in on Naybet

Tottenham remain a live option for Nourredine Naybet as he could join the club this week.

Tottenham remain a live option for Nourredine Naybet, with Spanish sources claiming the Deportivo La Coruna veteran will join Jacques Santini's side before the end of the week.

The Moroccan centre back has been contemplating leaving Depor for a fresh challenge, with a lucrative move to Qatar one of the offers on the table.

However, Spurs are being tipped to wrap up a ‚é¼1 million move for Naybet, who could fulfil a long-standing ambition to play in The Premiership.

Tottenham's interest in the African was revealed by skysports.com in mid-July, and the player could be persuaded to bolster the North London club's defence.

Santini has been busy in the transfer market and is keen to conduct more business before the season kicks off at the weekend.

Spurs start with a tough game against Rafa Benitez's Liverpool at White Hart Lane.
