Tottenham are weighing up a
summer move for Bolton midfielder Stuart Holden as Harry Redknapp
looks to strengthen his squad ahead of a major White Hart Lane
clear-out. The Spurs boss has been monitoring the progress of the
American international who has been in fine form at the Reebok
Stadium this season.
The 25 year old former Houston Dynamo midfielder has been in
excellent form this season and has become a crucial part of
Owen Coyle’s much improved
Bolton side who are battling for European qualification due in no
small part to the Aberdeen born star’s tough tackling intelligent
box to box performances.
Redknapp has stated on many occasions his desire to bring in
central midfielders and is ready to swing the axe at the North
London club as he looks to make room in his expansive squad for new
additions. The likes of Jermaine Jenas, Wilson Palacios, David
Bentley, Robbie
Keane and Roman Pavyluchenko have all been linked
with moves away from the top four chasing side.
£12m rated Holden has taken to life in the English top tier
amazing well and Coyle will have to think long and hard about any
offer for his services whilst at the same time chairman Phil
Gartside knows he needs to generate funds to help pay off the
club’s big debts and it may well prove that the Lancashire club
have to sell one of their stars this summer.
Bolton stars Gary Cahill and Fabrice Muamba have also been
linked with interest from Premier League sides and it seems likely
that the Trotters will have to sell one of their first team stars
in order to help balance the books.
Indeed England international Cahill is also a player very much
on Redknapp’s radar as he seeks to resolve his central defensive
problems that have been caused in the main to recurring injury
problems suffered by Jonathan Woodgate and Ledley King as well
decidedly average displays from French veteran William Gallas.
