Tottenham launch £11m bid for Sheffield United duo Kyle Naughton and Kyle Walker
A deal for Naughton to move to Goodison Park this summer is thought to have been agreed last week, but United are now reported to have backed out in favour of Tottenham's offer which would see Naughton leave immediately and Walker loaned back to them for the 2009/10 season.
According to the Mirror, Everton had been assured that Naughton would travel to Merseyside to undergo a medical when he returned from United's trip to Malta. But instead the 20-year-old and Walker, 19, went straight to London to discuss personal terms with Redknapp.

Tottenham's decision to leave Walker in the Championship for one more season is no doubt a move that will appeal to all parties. United manager Kevin Blackwell had been apprehensive about losing two right-backs this summer and now has 12 months to find a replacement - not to mention that the club will receive the estimated £4m set aside for Walker in advance.
Meanwhile, Redknapp looks set to fail in his attempts to lure Ryan Shawcross away from Stoke.
Speaking to the BBC, the 21-year-old defender appeared un fazed by the rumour and said: "I'm not really fussed about the rumours. I'm a Stoke player and until someone tells me otherwise, I'll still be a Stoke player." ackwell had been apprehensive about losing two right-backs this summer and now has 12 months to find a replacement - not to mention that the club will receive the estimated £4m set aside for Walker in advance.
