da brwin: Harry Redknapp is pondering a fresh move for Gary Cahill the Daily Mail understands with David Bentley used as bait.
da 888: The Tottenham manager is concerned by the lack of defensive cover at White Hart Lane and wants a dependable centre back to provide competition.
Negotiations for Christopher Samba have so far failed to bear fruit causing Redknapp to turn his attentions to Cahill.
He watched him put a sterling performance in for Bolton against Manchester City on Sunday, which convinced him to step up his interest.
Wanderers value the England defender at £17 million, which would be too much for Spurs at this current time.
Redknapp knows that kind of money won’t be sanctioned by chairman Daniel Levy but could offer Bentley and Sebastian Bassong to try and see the price reduced.
Trotters boss Owen Coyle is in the marker for a right midfielder after losing Chung Yong-Lee for the season and would be keen to give Bentley a chance at revitalising his career at the Reebok.
Bassong would also be an attractive proposition as he would be an instant replacement for Cahill.
Arsenal are also weighing up a bid for the defender who have more financial clout at this moment in time and Spurs will have to fend off their fierce rivals to land the player.
