PAUL ROBINSONS future as Spurs No 1 is in doubt after boss
Martin Jol joined the race for Hearts goalkeeper Craig Gordon. Jol
wants to bring in another top-class stopper to compete with England
star Robbo. And Spurs are ready to make an £8million bid for the
Scotland international, who is widely regarded as the best keeper
in Britain.
Spurs face stiff competition from Manchester United for Gordons
signature. Alex Ferguson is believed to be very interested in the
Scot, despite having Edwin van der Sar and Ben Foster to contest
the goalkeepers position at Old Trafford.
Hearts snubbed a £3million bid from Fulham for Gordon, 24, in
January but he looks certain to leave this summer. Robinson, 27,
was criticised for a series of high-profile blunders last season.
And his position as England No 1 is under threat from Foster, who
made his international debut against Spain in February.
Now he is facing competition at club level. If Jol succeeds in
bringing Gordon to the club, Robbo can expect a tough battle to
keep his place between the sticks. And his Czech understudy Radek
Cerny would be likely to leave White Hart Lane as a result.
