Spurs are leading the chase for Newcastle's Kieron Dyer
after boss Sam Allardyce admitted the midfielder could be allowed
to leave St James' Park.
Manchester City had been strongly linked with a swoop for Dyer, 28,
but BBC Sport understands boss Sven-Goran Eriksson will not make a
move.
West Ham are also interested, but it is believed Spurs are Dyer's
first choice.
Boss Martin Jol is believed to have lodged a bid of about £5m for
the Ipswich-born England international.
Newcastle boss Allardyce confirmed Dyer would be allowed to leave,
citing "family reasons".
