Peter Crouch is ready to turn down bigger money at
Sunderland to sign with
Tottenham this week.
The London Evening Standard says the north-east club
are prepared to pay the Portsmouth striker £80,000-a-week in a bid to stop
him from going to White Hart Lane.
Sunderland realised at the
weekend that Spurs are leading the race for their prime target and
are now desperate to sway the England striker with the massive wage
offer.
It is believed Spurs will offer him around £20,000 a week less
but Crouch is ready to accept it because he is so keen to be
reunited with manager Harry Redknapp.
