Spurs are reportedy set to step up their bid to sign West Brom
defender Curtis Davies after Younes Kaboul joined their injury
list.
Spurs boss Martin Jol has been on the trail of Davies for the last
18 months but have been unable to agree a fee with the West Brom
for their captain.
Tottenham have offered £8 million for the 22-year-old while the
Baggies want around £10 million, but Spurs are said to be ready to
make another bid after Kaboul joined the growing injury list at
White Hart Lane in Tuesday's dismal 3-1 home defeat to
Everton.
Kaboul lasted just 18 minutes of his home debut before being forced
off with a hamstring strain to join fellow defenders Ledley King,
Michael Dawson and Gareth Bale in Totttenham's busy treatment
room.
After defeats in the opening two games of the new season, Jol could
be forced to face Derby on Saturday with just four fit fit
defenders, but he insisted that his side will bounce back after
their disappointing display against Everton in which they were
booed off at half-time.
Jol said: "I feel as rotten as I felt on Sunday. We will do better,
I am certain of that. It is a kick in the teeth but we will bounce
back."
