Tottenham launch £11m swoop for Loic Remy
Tottenham are expected to make an £11million bid for Nice striker Loic Remy to head off interest from Marseille.Harry Redknapp saw all four of his senior strikers draw a blank against Manchester City on Saturday and gave only grudging praise to Roman Pavlyuchenko after the Russian's wonder strike against Young Boys Berne in the Champions League on Wednesday. Hot property: Loic Remy is to be offered the chance to play in EnglandThe White Hart Lane boss ideally wants to sell before bringing in a big new signing, but respected French newspaper L'Equipe predicts a formal offer to come for Remy today from the north London side.Tottenham could be forced into a move after the player's agent confirmed that Marseille had been back in touch after failing to land other targets.The French champions have turned to the France international after abandoning a bid for Sevilla's Luis Fabiano and being put off of moves for Pavlyuchenko or Manchester United's Dimitar Berbatov. Net buster: Roman Pavlyuchenko scored Spurs' second against Young BoysAgent Frederic Guerra said: 'I confirm that Marseille contacted me for Loic Remy. But, as it stands, I'd rather not say more.'West Ham and Stoke both made bids for the 23-year-old this summer, while Arsenal and Liverpool have also previously shown interest.Deal: Harry RedknappEverton remain keen, but David Moyes is working on a limited budget and would need to sell the likes of West Ham target Yakubu before entering the running.Pavlyuchenko and Robbie Keane are both candidates to leave Tottenham, but both want to stay and fight for their futures, especially with the prospect of Champions League football this season.Pavlyuchenko hit the thunderous final goal in Spurs' 3-2 Champions League play-off first leg defeat by Young Boys on Tuesday but he had an otherwise indifferent game.Redknapp said: 'We had lots of possession in the second half but they were very dangerous on the break and in the end it took a great finish from Pavlyuchenko. He had a very quiet night but then he came up with a great goal.' Oh boy, Harry!
