Spurs boss Juande Ramos has told Tom Huddestone, Wayne Routledge and Anthony Gardner to find new clubs.

The players will be axed in January as Ramos gives his squad a shake-up.

Winger Routledge and defender Gardner have not featured under Ramos.

Midfielder Tom Huddlestone upset the Spaniard by carrying too much weight. He could face being sent back to Derby with Paul Jewell keen.

Meanwhile, Tottenham have failed in a bid to land Espanyol's £8million-rated central defender Dani Jarque.

The Spanish outfit held a summit at which coach Ernesto Valverde insisted the 24-year-old was indispensable.'

Spurs watched Jarque several times and were ready to fill a hole opened by Younes Kaboul's poor displays.

Espanyol sporting director Paco Herrera said: "Jarque is a key player and we don't want to break our system up."

Huddlestone rumours rubbished
No January move for Huddlestone

Skysports.com understands reports suggesting Tom Huddlestone could be on his way out of Tottenham are wide of the mark.

Weekend newspaper reports claimed Juande Ramos had informed Huddlestone he could leave during next month's transfer window.

Huddlestone, who joined Tottenham from Derby in the summer of 2005, is highly-regarded within the corridors of White Hart Lane.

The England Under 21 international has missed Tottenham's last two games, but it is believed he will return to the squad for Tuesday's Carling Cup clash with Manchester City.

Huddlestone's representative, Gary Porter, has rubbished the rumours over the midfielder's future.

"Contrary to reports Tom has not been told he has no future at Tottenham," Porter told skysports.com.
