Tottenham have rejected a bid from Fulham to make Wayne
Routledge's move to Craven Cottage a permanent one, skysports.com
understands.
The 21-year-old is currently on a season-long loan with Fulham and
he has obviously done enough to impress boss Chris Coleman.
Coleman is looking to bolster his options, as Fulham look for a top
half finish and he feels Routledge's permanent signature would be a
boost to his squad.
Other Premiership clubs including Watford are know to be tracking
the England Under 21 international, which may well have hastened
Fulham's bid.
Spurs are very keen on nurturing young talent and coach Martin Jol
may well decide to give Routledge another crack at forging a career
at White Hart Lane - but that remains to be seen.
While Fulham are considering their next move with Routledge -
skysports.com can reveal that they are close to sealing a move for
Jerome Thomas.
The Charlton winger is on his way out of The Valley and Fulham have
moved quickly to make their move for the former Arsenal, who is at
home on either flank.
