SPURS want Alan Smith after learning that the Manchester
United striker has not been offered a promised new contract. Smith,
who will lead Englands attack against Brazil alongside Michael
Owen tonight, has slipped down Uniteds priority list now they have
signed superkids Anderson and Nani from Portugal for
£31million.
The failure to sort out Smith might be a message United will sell
the £7m-rated striker. United would still love to grab hitman
Dimitar Berbatov but Spurs insist the Bulgarian is staying. Yet
Smith could replace Jermain Defoe, who is interesting Portsmouth.
Everton, Aston Villa and Middlesbrough are also keen on the England
striker. Defoe is behind Berbatov and Robbie Keane in the White
Hart Lane pecking order.
